Summary

Represents an interval of time.

Description

The TimeSpan structure represents an interval of time with values ranging from System.Int64.MinValue to System.Int64.MaxValue 100-nanosecond ticks.

[Note: The value of a TimeSpan is represented internally as a number of 100-nanosecond ticks. Both the specification of a number of ticks and the value of a TimeSpan can be positive or negative.

A TimeSpan can be represented as a string in the format "[-]d.hh:mm:ss.ff" where "-" is an optional sign for negative TimeSpan values, the "d" component is days, "hh" is hours, "mm" is minutes, "ss" is seconds, and "ff" is fractions of a second. For example, a TimeSpan initialized with 1012 ticks would be represented as "11.13:46:40", which is 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

Due to a varying number of days in months and years, the longest unit of time that is used by this structure is the day.
