Definition

Namespace:

System.Management

Assembly:

System.Management.dll

Package:

System.Management v9.0.0

Source:

ManagementDateTime.cs

Converts a given DMTF time interval to a TimeSpan.

public:
 static TimeSpan ToTimeSpan(System::String ^ dmtfTimespan);

public static TimeSpan ToTimeSpan (string dmtfTimespan);

static member ToTimeSpan : string -> TimeSpan

Public Shared Function ToTimeSpan (dmtfTimespan As String) As TimeSpan

Parameters

dmtfTimespan

String

A string representation of the DMTF time interval.

Returns

TimeSpan

A TimeSpan that represents the given DMTF time interval.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The DMTF time interval value is greater than TimeSpan.MaxValue.

Examples

The following example converts a given DMTF time interval to TimeSpan.

using System;
using System.Management;

// The sample below demonstrates the various conversions
// that can be done using ManagementDateTimeConverter class
class Sample_ManagementDateTimeConverterClass
{
    public static int Main(string[] args)
    {
        string dmtfDate = "20020408141835.999999-420";
        string dmtfTimeInterval = "00000010122532:123456:000";

        // Converting DMTF datetime to System.DateTime
        DateTime dt =
            ManagementDateTimeConverter.ToDateTime(dmtfDate);

        // Converting System.DateTime to DMTF datetime
        string dmtfDateTime =
            ManagementDateTimeConverter.ToDmtfDateTime(DateTime.Now);

        // Converting DMTF time interval to System.TimeSpan
        System.TimeSpan tsRet =
            ManagementDateTimeConverter.ToTimeSpan(dmtfTimeInterval);

        //Converting System.TimeSpan to DMTF time interval format
        System.TimeSpan ts =
            new System.TimeSpan(10,12,25,32,456);
        string dmtfTimeInt  =
            ManagementDateTimeConverter.ToDmtfTimeInterval(ts);

        return 0;
    }
}
