    <p>Why not just send the dates down as is and use a JS plugin like <a href="http://timeago.yarp.com/" rel="nofollow">TimeAgo</a> e.g.</p> <pre><code>public PartialViewResult MostRecentMembersPosts() { return PartialView("pvMostRecentMembersPost", _imf.DisplayMostRecentForumPosts().ToList()); } </code></pre> <p>Then in your view</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;MemberForumProperties&gt; &lt;!-- Head section would need to be defined in your master page first --&gt; @section Head { &lt;script src="jquery.timeago.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $.ready(function() { $("abbr.timeago").timeago(); }); &lt;/script&gt; } @foreach (var m in Model) { &lt;abbr class="timeago" title='@m.ForumMemberDateTimePostedPost.ToString("s")' /&gt; } </code></pre> <p>TimeAgo will take care of converting your <code>DateTime</code> values into a fuzzy timestamp.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>The Problem</strong></p> <p>If you don't want to go for the client-side approach, then to fix your current server-side issue you need to send down a list of relative times, at the minute you only appear to be sending down the <em>last</em> relative time i.e.</p> <pre><code>var test = ""; foreach (MembersForumProperties t in loopThroughDateTimes) { test = t.ForumMemberDateTimePostedPost; } // test now contains the date/time of the last item in the `loopThroughDateTimes` list var membersMostRecentPost = new MostRecentPostsViewModel { SelectMostRecentForumPosts = displyMostRecentForumPosts, DateAndTimeOfForumPosts = IsPostLessThanOneHour.DisplayPostInMinutesOrSeconds(test) }; // DateAndTimeOfForumPosts only contains the relative string for the last date/time </code></pre> <p>Your current setup just appears a bit messy &amp; cluttered and not very readable.</p> <p><strong>The Solution</strong></p> <p>To tidy it up a bit here's what I would do</p> <pre><code>public static class DateTimeExt { public static string ToRelativeTime(this DateTime value) { // you could move the entire implementation of `DisplayPostInMinutesOrSeconds` to here return IsPostLessThanOneHour.DisplayPostInMinutesOrSeconds(value); } } ... public PartialViewResult MostRecentMembersPosts() { return PartialView("pvMostRecentMembersPost", _imf.DisplayMostRecentForumPosts().ToList()); } </code></pre> <p>And then in your view</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;MemberForumProperties&gt; @foreach (var props in Model) { &lt;p&gt;@props.ForumMemberDateTimePostedPost.ToRelativeTime()&lt;/p&gt; } </code></pre>

    1. COThis answer would be greatly improved by actually showing the OP how to apply that plugin to his particular problem, perhaps with an example. As it stands, this answer risks being flagged and deleted because it is not a very good answer, it just points the user somewhere else without addressing their particular issue.

    2. CO@GeorgeStocker sure will update. However, the link does go to the documentation which is effectively self explanatory.

    3. COWhat happens if the link dies or the documentation moves? That's part of the reason we frown upon answers that are effectively just links. As it stands, you've turned your answer into a really good answer by including what we need to solve the user's issue here.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
