DateTime - Time Only - Re: Video

Question

Premise:

Right now...I am recording start and stop times within a video within a string field (because it is the easiest way).

I would like to record start and stop times in the best way, one that would (eventually) allow calculation of the difference between start and stop times (duration) and allow playing a video from the start time and end at stop time.

Question:

Is this sort of functionality possible? If so, which field type would be best for this...DateTime...TimeOnly, or does Time in DateTime not useful for recording times in video? What would be the best way to create the property in a class?

Answer 1

I think that the TimeSpan structure can be used for start and stop time. The "-" operator will give the duration.
