Module Example
Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
' Define an interval of 1 day, 15+ hours.
Dim interval As New TimeSpan(1, 15, 42, 45, 750)
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Value of TimeSpan: {0}", interval) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0:N5} hours, as follows:", interval.TotalHours) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(" Hours: {0,3}", _
interval.Days * 24 + interval.Hours) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(" Minutes: {0,3}", interval.Minutes) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(" Seconds: {0,3}", interval.Seconds) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(" Milliseconds: {0,3}", interval.Milliseconds) & vbCrLf
End Sub
