XAttribute Explicit Conversion (XAttribute to TimeSpan)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Cast the value of this XAttribute to a TimeSpan.

This API is not CLS-compliant. 

Namespace:  System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Narrowing Operator CType ( _
    attribute As XAttribute _
) As TimeSpan

public static explicit operator TimeSpan (
    XAttribute attribute
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.TimeSpan
A TimeSpan that contains the content of this XAttribute.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
FormatException

The attribute does not contain a valid TimeSpan value.
ArgumentNullException

The attribute parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

The value space of an attribute or element that contains time span content is closely related to duration content as described in ISO 8601. When creating an attribute or element that contains time span content, the attribute or element values are formatted per the W3C specification. Please see the W3C specification for more details.

Behavior is lax when casting to a TimeSpan from an attribute or element. Even if the attribute or element value is not formatted exactly per the W3C specification, the value is appropriately converted to a TimeSpan.

Examples

The following example creates an attribute with time span content. It then retrieves the value by casting to TimeSpan.

Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim root As XElement = <Root Att=<%= New TimeSpan(1, 5, 30) %>/>
Dim value As TimeSpan = CType(root.Attribute("Att"), TimeSpan)
output.Append(String.Format("value={0}", value))
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()

StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XElement root = new XElement("Root",
    new XAttribute("Att", new TimeSpan(1, 5, 30))
);
TimeSpan value = (TimeSpan)root.Attribute("Att");
output.Append("value=" + value + Environment.NewLine);

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
