TimeSpan.GetHashCode Method

Returns a hash code for this instance.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Overrides Function GetHashCode As Integer
C#
public override int GetHashCode()
Visual C++
public:
virtual int GetHashCode() override
F#
abstract GetHashCode : unit -> int 
override GetHashCode : unit -> int

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
A 32-bit signed integer hash code.
Remarks

Two TimeSpan objects might have the same hash code even though they represent different time values.

Examples

The following example generates the hash codes of several TimeSpan objects using the GetHashCode method.

Visual Basic
