TimeSpan.Parse Method (String)

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

Converts the string representation of a time interval to its TimeSpan equivalent.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function Parse ( _
    s As String _
) As TimeSpan
public static TimeSpan Parse(
    string s
)

Parameters

  • s
    Type: System.String
    A string that specifies that specifies the time interval to convert.

Return Value

Type: System.TimeSpan
A time interval that corresponds to s.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

s is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

FormatException

s has an invalid format.

OverflowException

s represents a number less than TimeSpan.MinValue or greater than TimeSpan.MaxValue.

-or-

At least one of the days, hours, minutes, or seconds components is outside its valid range.

Remarks

The s parameter contains a time interval specification of the form:

[ws][-]{ d | [d.]hh:mm[:ss[.ff]] }[ws]

Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. One selection from the list of alternatives enclosed in braces ({ and }) and separated by vertical bars (|) is required. The following table describes each element.

Element

Description

ws

Optional white space.

-

An optional minus sign, which indicates a negative TimeSpan.

d

Days, ranging from 0 to 10675199.

.

A culture-sensitive symbol that separates days from hours. The invariant format uses a period (".") character.

hh

Hours, ranging from 0 to 23.

:

The culture-sensitive time separator symbol. The invariant format uses a colon (":") character.

mm

Minutes, ranging from 0 to 59.

ss

Optional seconds, ranging from 0 to 59.

.

A culture-sensitive symbol that separates seconds from fractions of a second. The invariant format uses a period (".") character.

ff

Optional fractional seconds, consisting of one to seven decimal digits.

The components of s must collectively specify a time interval greater than or equal to TimeSpan.MinValue and less than or equal to TimeSpan.MaxValue.

The Parse(String) method first tries to parse s by using the invariant format. If this is not successful, it next tries each of the culture-specific formats for the current culture.

Examples

The following example uses the Parse method to create TimeSpan objects from valid TimeSpan strings and to raise exceptions from invalid TimeSpan strings.

' methods.

Module Example

   Sub ParseNDisplayTimeSpan(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal intervalStr As String)

      ' Write the first part of the output line.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0,20}   ", intervalStr)

      ' Parse the parameter, and then convert it back to a string.
      Try
         Dim intervalVal As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.Parse(intervalStr)
         Dim intervalToStr As String = intervalVal.ToString()

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

         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0,21}", intervalToStr) & vbCrLf

         ' If Parse throws an exception, write the message.
      Catch ex As Exception
         outputBlock.Text &= ex.Message & vbCrLf
      End Try
   End Sub

   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

          "String to Parse", "TimeSpan or Exception") + vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0,20}   {1,21}", _
          "---------------", "---------------------") + vbCrLf
