TimeSpan Struct

Definition

Represents a time interval as a signed 64-bit integer value.

.NET When programming with .NET, this structure is hidden, and developers should use the System.TimeSpan type.

C++/WinRT This type is a specialization of std::chrono::duration.

TimeSpan is used in the Adaptive streaming sample app.

Remarks

When programming with .NET, this structure is hidden and developers should use the System.TimeSpan structure.

In JavaScript, this structure is accessed as a value, not as an object. For example, use var a = 10000, not var a = { duration: 10000 }.

Note

In JavaScript, TimeSpan values interpreted as Number are treated as the number of millisecond intervals, not the number of 100-nanosecond intervals. Therefore, Windows.Foundation.TimeSpan values can lose precision when being ported between languages.

Fields

Duration

A time period expressed in 100-nanosecond units.

Note

In C++/WinRT, this field does not exist, because in that language projection TimeSpan is a specialization of std::chrono::duration. If you need the raw integer value, use duration::count to obtain the raw count.
