Constructors

	Name	Description
	SoapDuration()	Creates an instance of SoapDuration.

Properties

	Name	Description
	XsdType	Gets the XML Schema definition language (XSD) of the current SOAP type.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object^)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	Parse(String^)	Converts the specified String into a TimeSpan object.
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	ToString(TimeSpan)	Returns the specified TimeSpan object as a String.

Remarks

For more information about XSD data types, see the "XML Data Types Reference" in the MSDN Library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.

Examples

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.

C++

#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Runtime.Remoting.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Metadata::W3cXsd2001;

int main()
{
   // 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 = L"P2Y3M9DT12H35M20.0100000S";
   TimeSpan timeSpan = SoapDuration::Parse( xsdDuration );
   Console::WriteLine( L"The time span contains {0} days.",
      timeSpan.Days );
   Console::WriteLine( L"The time span contains {0} hours.",
      timeSpan.Hours );
   Console::WriteLine( L"The time span contains {0} minutes.",
      timeSpan.Minutes );
   Console::WriteLine( L"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 = TimeSpan(399,12,35,20,10);
   Console::WriteLine( L"The duration in XSD format is {0}.",
      SoapDuration::ToString( duration ) );

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