TimeSpan.FromDays Method

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

Returns a TimeSpan that represents a specified number of days, where the specification is accurate to the nearest millisecond.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function FromDays ( _
    value As Double _
) As TimeSpan
public static TimeSpan FromDays(
    double value
)

Parameters

  • value
    Type: System.Double
    A number of days, accurate to the nearest millisecond.

Return Value

Type: System.TimeSpan
An object that represents value.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
OverflowException

value is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

-or-

value is Double.PositiveInfinity.

-or-

value is Double.NegativeInfinity.

ArgumentException

value is equal to Double.NaN.

Remarks

The value parameter is converted to milliseconds, which is converted to ticks, and that number of ticks is used to initialize the new TimeSpan. Therefore, value will only be considered accurate to the nearest millisecond. Note that, because of the loss of precision of the Double data type, this conversion can cause an OverflowException for values that are near to but still in the range of either MinValue or MaxValue. For example, this causes an OverflowException in the following attempt to instantiate a TimeSpan object.

' The following throws an OverflowException at runtime
Dim maxSpan As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(TimeSpan.MaxValue.TotalDays)
// The following throws an OverflowException at runtime
TimeSpan maxSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(TimeSpan.MaxValue.TotalDays);

Examples

The following code example creates several TimeSpan objects using the FromDays method.

' Example of the TimeSpan.FromDays( Double ) method.

Module Example

   Sub GenTimeSpanFromDays(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal days As Double)

      ' Create a TimeSpan object and TimeSpan string from 
      ' a number of days.
      Dim interval As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(days)
      Dim timeInterval As String = interval.ToString()

      ' Pad the end of the TimeSpan string with spaces if it 
      ' does not contain milliseconds.
      Dim pIndex As Integer = timeInterval.IndexOf(":"c)
      pIndex = timeInterval.IndexOf("."c, pIndex)
      If pIndex < 0 Then timeInterval &= "        "

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,21}{1,26}", days, timeInterval) & vbCrLf
   End Sub
