Examples

The following example instantiates a TimeSpan object and displays the value its TotalHours property. It also displays the value of each component (hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds) that forms the fractional part of the value of its TotalHours property.

C#
// Define an interval of 1 day, 15+ hours.
TimeSpan interval = new TimeSpan(1, 15, 42, 45, 750); 
Console.WriteLine("Value of TimeSpan: {0}", interval);

Console.WriteLine("{0:N5} hours, as follows:", interval.TotalHours);
Console.WriteLine("   Hours:        {0,3}", 
                  interval.Days * 24 + interval.Hours);
Console.WriteLine("   Minutes:      {0,3}", interval.Minutes);
Console.WriteLine("   Seconds:      {0,3}", interval.Seconds);
Console.WriteLine("   Milliseconds: {0,3}", interval.Milliseconds);

// The example displays the following output:
//       Value of TimeSpan: 1.15:42:45.7500000
//       39.71271 hours, as follows:
//          Hours:         39
//          Minutes:       42
//          Seconds:       45
//          Milliseconds: 750
