TimeSpan.FromMinutes Method
Returns a TimeSpan that represents a specified number of minutes, where the specification is accurate to the nearest millisecond.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.Double
A number of minutes, accurate to the nearest millisecond.
| 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. |
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 generate 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 code example creates several TimeSpan objects using the FromMinutes method.
// Example of the TimeSpan.FromMinutes( double ) method. using System; class FromMinutesDemo { static void GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( double minutes ) { // Create a TimeSpan object and TimeSpan string from // a number of minutes. TimeSpan interval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( minutes ); string timeInterval = interval.ToString( ); // Pad the end of the TimeSpan string with spaces if it // does not contain milliseconds. int pIndex = timeInterval.IndexOf( ':' ); pIndex = timeInterval.IndexOf( '.', pIndex ); if( pIndex < 0 ) timeInterval += " "; Console.WriteLine( "{0,21}{1,26}", minutes, timeInterval ); } static void Main( ) { Console.WriteLine( "This example of TimeSpan.FromMinutes( double )\n" + "generates the following output.\n" ); Console.WriteLine( "{0,21}{1,18}", "FromMinutes", "TimeSpan" ); Console.WriteLine( "{0,21}{1,18}", "-----------", "--------" ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 0.00001 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 0.00002 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 0.12345 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 1234.56789 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 12345678.98765 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 0.01666 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 1 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 60 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 1440 ); GenTimeSpanFromMinutes( 30020.33667 ); } } /* This example of TimeSpan.FromMinutes( double ) generates the following output.
