Duration(Duration obj) |
Initializes a new instance of the Duration class to the Duration object supplied as argument. |
|
Duration(System.TimeSpan newvalue) |
Initializes a new instance of the Duration class to the System.TimeSpan object supplied as argument. |
|
Duration(long ticks) |
Initializes a new instance of the Duration class to the number of ticks supplied as argument. |

Properties
Name |
Description |
|
|---|---|---|
|
int Months |
Gets or sets the number of months of the current instance of Duration. |
|
System.TimeSpan Value |

Methods
Name |
Description |
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
override bool Equals(object other) |
Returns true if the specified object is equal to the current object; false otherwise. |
||||||
|
override int GetHashCode() |
Returns the hash code of the current instance. |
||||||
|
bool IsNegative() |
Returns true if the current instance of Duration represents a negative duration. |
||||||
|
static Duration Parse( string s, ParseType pt ) |
Returns an Altova.Types.Duration object parsed from the string supplied as argument, using the parse type supplied as argument. Valid parse type values:
Note that this method is static and can only be called on the class itself, not on an instance of the class. |
||||||
|
override string ToString() |
Converts the current Duration instance to string. For example, a time span of 3 hours, 4 minutes, and 5 seconds would be converted to "PT3H4M5S". |
||||||
|
string ToYearMonthString() |
Converts the current Duration instance to string, using the "Year and Month" parse type. |
Operators
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
!= |
Determines if Duration a is not equal to Duration b. |
== |
Determines if Duration a is equal to Duration b. |
Examples
Before using the following code listings in your program, ensure the Altova types are imported:
using Altova.Types; |
The following code listing illustrates various ways to create Duration objects:
protected static void DurationExample1() { // Create a new time span of 3 hours, 4 minutes, and 5 seconds System.TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(3, 4, 5); // Create a Duration from the time span Duration dr = new Duration(ts); // The output is: PT3H4M5S Console.WriteLine("Duration created from TimeSpan: " + dr.ToString());
// Create a negative Altova.Types.Duration from 6 years, 5 months, 4 days, 3 hours, // 2 minutes, 1 second, and .33 of a second Duration dr1 = new Duration(6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, .33, true); // The output is: -P6Y5M4DT3H2M1.33S Console.WriteLine("Duration created from parts: " + dr1.ToString());
// Create a Duration from a string using the DAYTIME parse type Duration dr2 = Altova.Types.Duration.Parse("-P4DT3H2M1S", Duration.ParseType.DAYTIME); // The output is -P4DT3H2M1S Console.WriteLine("Duration created from string: " + dr2.ToString());
// Create a duration from ticks Duration dr3 = new Duration(System.DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks); // Output the result Console.WriteLine("Duration created from ticks: " + dr3.ToString()); } |
The following code listing illustrates getting values from Duration objects:
protected static void DurationExample2() { // Create a negative Altova.Types.Duration from 6 years, 5 months, 4 days, 3 hours, // 2 minutes, 1 second, and .33 of a second Duration dr = new Duration(6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, .33, true); // The output is: -P6Y5M4DT3H2M1.33S Console.WriteLine("The complete duration is: " + dr.ToString());
// Get only the year and month part as string string dr1 = dr.ToYearMonthString(); Console.WriteLine("The YEARMONTH part is: " + dr1);
// Get the number of years in duration Console.WriteLine("Years: " + dr.Years);
// Get the number of months in duration Console.WriteLine("Months: " + dr.Months); } |
