SoapDuration Class

Provides static methods for the serialization and deserialization of TimeSpan to a string that is formatted as XSD duration.

System.Object
  System.Runtime.Remoting.Metadata.W3cXsd2001.SoapDuration

Namespace:  System.Runtime.Remoting.Metadata.W3cXsd2001
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public sealed class SoapDuration

The SoapDuration type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method SoapDuration Creates an instance of SoapDuration.
Top
  Name Description
Public property Static member XsdType Gets the XML Schema definition language (XSD) of the current SOAP type.
Top
  Name Description
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Static member Parse Converts the specified String into a TimeSpan object.
Public method ToString() Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Static member ToString(TimeSpan) Returns the specified TimeSpan object as a String.

The following code example shows how to use the methods in the SoapDuration class to convert between a TimeSpan object and an XSD duration string.


using System;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Metadata.W3cXsd2001;

public class Demo
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Parse an XSD duration to create a TimeSpan object.
        // This is a duration of 2 years, 3 months, 9 days, 12 hours, 
        // 35 minutes, 20 seconds, and 10 milliseconds.
        string xsdDuration = "P2Y3M9DT12H35M20.0100000S";
        TimeSpan timeSpan = SoapDuration.Parse(xsdDuration);
        Console.WriteLine("The time span contains {0} days.", 
            timeSpan.Days);
        Console.WriteLine("The time span contains {0} hours.", 
            timeSpan.Hours);
        Console.WriteLine("The time span contains {0} minutes.", 
            timeSpan.Minutes);
        Console.WriteLine("The time span contains {0} seconds.", 
            timeSpan.Seconds);

        // Serialize a TimeSpan object as an XSD duration string.
        // This object represents a time span of 399 days, 12 hours,
        // 35 minutes, 20 seconds, and 10 milliseconds.
        TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan(399, 12, 35, 20, 10);
        Console.WriteLine("The duration in XSD format is {0}.",
            SoapDuration.ToString(duration));

        // Print the XSD type string of the SoapDuration class.
        Console.WriteLine("The XSD type of SoapDuration is {0}.",
            SoapDuration.XsdType);
    }
}
