property double TotalSeconds { double get(); };
public double TotalSeconds { get; }
member this.TotalSeconds : double
Public ReadOnly Property TotalSeconds As Double
Property Value
The total number of seconds represented by this instance.
Examples
The following example instantiates a TimeSpan object and displays the value of its TotalSeconds property. It also displays the value of its milliseconds component, which forms the fractional part of the value of its TotalSeconds property.
// 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} seconds, as follows:", interval.TotalSeconds);
Console.WriteLine(" Seconds: {0,8:N0}", interval.Days * 24 * 60 * 60 +
interval.Hours *60 * 60 +
interval.Minutes * 60 +
interval.Seconds);
Console.WriteLine(" Milliseconds: {0,8}", interval.Milliseconds);
// The example displays the following output:
// Value of TimeSpan: 1.15:42:45.7500000
// 142,965.75000 seconds, as follows:
// Seconds: 142,965
// Milliseconds: 750
// Define an interval of 1 day, 15+ hours.
let interval = TimeSpan(1, 15, 42, 45, 750)
printfn $"Value of TimeSpan: {interval}"
printfn $"{interval.TotalSeconds:N5} seconds, as follows:"
printfn $" Seconds: {interval.Days * 24 * 60 * 60 +
interval.Hours *60 * 60 +
interval.Minutes * 60 +
interval.Seconds,8:N0}"
printfn $" Milliseconds: {interval.Milliseconds,8}"
// The example displays the following output:
// Value of TimeSpan: 1.15:42:45.7500000
// 142,965.75000 seconds, as follows:
// Seconds: 142,965
// Milliseconds: 750
Module Example
Public Sub Main()
' Define an interval of 1 day, 15+ hours.
Dim interval As New TimeSpan(1, 15, 42, 45, 750)
Console.WriteLine("Value of TimeSpan: {0}", interval)
Console.WriteLine("{0:N5} seconds, as follows:", interval.TotalSeconds)
Console.WriteLine(" Seconds: {0,8:N0}", interval.Days * 24 * 60 * 60 + _
interval.Hours *60 * 60 + _
interval.Minutes * 60 + _
interval.Seconds)
Console.WriteLine(" Milliseconds: {0,8}", interval.Milliseconds)
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' Value of TimeSpan: 1.15:42:45.7500000
' 142,965.75000 seconds, as follows:
' Seconds: 142,965
' Milliseconds: 750
Remarks
This property converts the value of this instance from ticks to seconds. This number might include whole and fractional seconds.
The TotalSeconds property represents whole and fractional seconds, whereas the Seconds property represents whole seconds.
