Returns a new TimeSpan object whose value is the absolute value of the current TimeSpan object.

public:
 TimeSpan Duration();

public TimeSpan Duration ();

member this.Duration : unit -> TimeSpan

Public Function Duration () As TimeSpan

Returns

TimeSpan

A new object whose value is the absolute value of the current TimeSpan object.

Exceptions

OverflowException

The value of this instance is TimeSpan.MinValue.

Examples

The following example applies the Duration method to several TimeSpan objects.

// Example of the TimeSpan::Duration( ) and TimeSpan::Negate( ) methods,
// and the TimeSpan Unary Negation and Unary Plus operators.
using namespace System;
const __wchar_t * protoFmt = L"{0,22}{1,22}{2,22}";
void ShowDurationNegate( TimeSpan interval )
{
   
   // Display the TimeSpan value and the results of the 
   // Duration and Negate methods.
   Console::WriteLine( gcnew String( protoFmt ), interval, interval.Duration(), interval.Negate() );
}

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of TimeSpan::Duration( ), "
   "TimeSpan::Negate( ), \nand the TimeSpan Unary "
   "Negation and Unary Plus operators \n"
   "generates the following output.\n" );
   Console::WriteLine( gcnew String( protoFmt ), "TimeSpan", "Duration( )", "Negate( )" );
   Console::WriteLine( gcnew String( protoFmt ), "--------", "-----------", "---------" );
   
   // Create TimeSpan objects and apply the Unary Negation
   // and Unary Plus operators to them.
   ShowDurationNegate( TimeSpan(1) );
   ShowDurationNegate( TimeSpan( -1234567) );
   ShowDurationNegate(  +TimeSpan(0,0,10,-20,-30) );
   ShowDurationNegate(  +TimeSpan(0,-10,20,-30,40) );
   ShowDurationNegate(  -TimeSpan(1,10,20,40,160) );
   ShowDurationNegate(  -TimeSpan( -10,-20,-30,-40,-50) );
