Duration Structure

Duration Structure

Represents a duration. A duration stores separately months, days, and seconds due to the fact that the number of days in a month varies, and a day can have 23 or 25 hours if a daylight saving is involved.

Syntax

Copy

public struct Duration : IEquatable<Duration>, 
	IComparable<Duration>

The Duration type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	Duration	Creates a new instance of Duration.

Methods

	Name	Description
	CompareTo	Compares this instance against another Duration instance based on the bytes representation of the values.
	Equals(Object)	Returns true if the value of the Duration is the same. (Overrides ValueTypeEquals(Object).)
	Equals(Duration)	Returns true if the value of the Duration is the same.
	FromTimeSpan	Creates a new Duration instance based on the TimeSpan provided. Consider that 24 hour days (no leap seconds) are used to calculate the days portion.
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides ValueTypeGetHashCode.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Parse	Creates a new Duration instance from the string representation of the value. Accepted formats: multiple digits followed by a time unit like: 12h30m where the time unit can be: y: years m: months w: weeks d: days h: hours m: minutes s: seconds ms: milliseconds us or µs: microseconds ns: nanoseconds ISO 8601 format: Copy P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S or P[n]W ISO 8601 alternative format: Copy P[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss]
	ToIsoString	A string representation of this duration using ISO-8601 based representation, such as PT8H6M12.345S.
	ToString	Returns the string representation of the value. (Overrides ValueTypeToString.)
	ToTimeSpan	Returns a TimeSpan instance that represents the same interval than this instance. You should take into consideration that TimeSpan is internally represented in ticks, so for the conversion, 24h days will be used (leap seconds are not considered). For Duration values with month portion, it will throw an InvalidOperationException.

Operators

	Name	Description
	Equality	Compares value equality of 2 DateRange instances.
	Inequality	Compares value inequality of 2 DateRange instances.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Days	Gets the number of days.
	Months	Gets the number of months.
	Nanoseconds	Gets the number of nanoseconds.
