Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

TimeProvider.cs

Provides an abstraction for time.

public ref class TimeProvider abstract

public abstract class TimeProvider

type TimeProvider = class

Public MustInherit Class TimeProvider

Inheritance

Object

TimeProvider

Derived

Microsoft.Extensions.Time.Testing.FakeTimeProvider

Remarks

To make it easier to test time-dependent code, you can use FakeTimeProvider from the Microsoft.Extensions.Time.Testing package.

Constructors

TimeProvider()

Initializes the TimeProvider.

Properties

LocalTimeZone	Gets a TimeZoneInfo object that represents the local time zone according to this TimeProvider's notion of time.
System	Gets a TimeProvider that provides a clock based on UtcNow, a time zone based on Local, a high-performance time stamp based on Stopwatch, and a timer based on Timer.
TimestampFrequency	Gets the frequency of GetTimestamp() of high-frequency value per second.

Methods

CreateTimer(TimerCallback, Object, TimeSpan, TimeSpan)	Creates a new ITimer instance, using TimeSpan values to measure time intervals.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetElapsedTime(Int64)	Gets the elapsed time since the startingTimestamp value retrieved using GetTimestamp().
GetElapsedTime(Int64, Int64)	Gets the elapsed time between two timestamps retrieved using GetTimestamp().
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetLocalNow()	Gets a DateTimeOffset value that is set to the current date and time according to this TimeProvider's notion of time based on GetUtcNow(), with the offset set to the LocalTimeZone's offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
GetTimestamp()	Gets the current high-frequency value designed to measure small time intervals with high accuracy in the timer mechanism.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
GetUtcNow()	Gets a DateTimeOffset value whose date and time are set to the current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) date and time and whose offset is Zero, all according to this TimeProvider's notion of time.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Extension Methods

CreateCancellationTokenSource(TimeProvider, TimeSpan)	Initializes a new instance of the CancellationTokenSource class that will be canceled after the specified TimeSpan.
Delay(TimeProvider, TimeSpan, CancellationToken)	Creates a task that completes after a specified time interval.
