Dim dt As New Chilkat.CkDateTime

// Set to the current system date/time.
Dim success As Boolean
success = dt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()
System.DebugLog("Now: " + dt.GetAsTimestamp(True))

// Subtract 10 minutes, making the date 10 minutes in the past.
success = dt.AddSeconds(-600)
System.DebugLog("10 minutes ago: " + dt.GetAsTimestamp(True))

// Is the date/time older than 10 seconds?
Dim b As Boolean
b = dt.OlderThan(10,"seconds")
System.DebugLog("Older than 10 seconds: " + Str(b))

// Is the date/time older than 5 minutes?
b = dt.OlderThan(5,"minutes")
System.DebugLog("Older than 5 minutes: " + Str(b))

// Is the date/time older than 15 minutes?
b = dt.OlderThan(15,"minutes")
System.DebugLog("Older than 15 minutes: " + Str(b))

// Is the date/time older than 1 hour?
b = dt.OlderThan(1,"hour")
System.DebugLog("Older than 1 hour: " + Str(b))

// Is the date/time older than 1 day?
b = dt.OlderThan(1,"day")
System.DebugLog("Older than 1 day: " + Str(b))

// Output:

// 	Now: 2017-05-05T23:33:06-0500
