'  Subtract 10 minutes, making the date 10 minutes in the past.
dt.AddSeconds(-600)

'  Is the date/time older than 10 seconds?
Dim b As Boolean = dt.OlderThan(10, "seconds")
Log("Older than 10 seconds: " & b)

'  Is the date/time older than 5 minutes?
b = dt.OlderThan(5, "minutes")
Log("Older than 5 minutes: " & b)

'  Is the date/time older than 15 minutes?
b = dt.OlderThan(15, "minutes")
Log("Older than 15 minutes: " & b)

'  Is the date/time older than 1 hour?
