TimeSpan Constructor (Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Initializes a new instance of the TimeSpan structure to a specified number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

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

C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
public:
TimeSpan(
	int days,
	int hours,
	int minutes,
	int seconds
)

Parameters

days
Type: System::Int32

Number of days.

hours
Type: System::Int32

Number of hours.

minutes
Type: System::Int32

Number of minutes.

seconds
Type: System::Int32

Number of seconds.

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The parameters specify a TimeSpan value less than TimeSpan::MinValue or greater than TimeSpan::MaxValue.

The specified days, hours, minutes, and seconds are converted to ticks, and that value initializes this instance.

The following example creates several TimeSpan objects using the constructor overload that initializes a TimeSpan to a specified number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
using namespace System;

// Create a TimeSpan object and display its value.
void CreateTimeSpan( int days, int hours, int minutes, int seconds )
{
   TimeSpan elapsedTime = TimeSpan(days,hours,minutes,seconds);

   // Format the constructor for display.
   array<Object^>^boxedParams = gcnew array<Object^>(4);
   boxedParams[ 0 ] = days;
   boxedParams[ 1 ] = hours;
   boxedParams[ 2 ] = minutes;
   boxedParams[ 3 ] = seconds;
   String^ ctor = String::Format( "TimeSpan( {0}, {1}, {2}, {3} )", boxedParams );

   // Display the constructor and its value.
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-44}{1,16}", ctor, elapsedTime.ToString() );
}

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-44}{1,16}", "Constructor", "Value" );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-44}{1,16}", "-----------", "-----" );
   CreateTimeSpan( 10, 20, 30, 40 );
   CreateTimeSpan(  -10, 20, 30, 40 );
   CreateTimeSpan( 0, 0, 0, 937840 );
   CreateTimeSpan( 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 );
   CreateTimeSpan( 1000, -2000, -3000, -4000 );
   CreateTimeSpan( 999999, 999999, 999999, 999999 );
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Constructor                                            Value
//       -----------                                            -----
//       TimeSpan( 10, 20, 30, 40 )                       10.20:30:40
//       TimeSpan( -10, 20, 30, 40 )                      -9.03:29:20
//       TimeSpan( 0, 0, 0, 937840 )                      10.20:30:40
//       TimeSpan( 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 )             1085.11:06:40
//       TimeSpan( 1000, -2000, -3000, -4000 )           914.12:53:20
//       TimeSpan( 999999, 999999, 999999, 999999 )  1042371.15:25:39
