TimeSpan::Negate Method ()

 

Returns a new TimeSpan object whose value is the negated value of this instance.

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

public:
TimeSpan Negate()

Return Value

Type: System::TimeSpan

A new object with the same numeric value as this instance, but with the opposite sign.

Exception Condition
OverflowException

The negated value of this instance cannot be represented by a TimeSpan; that is, the value of this instance is MinValue.

The following example applies the Negate method to several TimeSpan objects.

// Example of the TimeSpan::Duration( ) and TimeSpan::Negate( ) methods,
// and the TimeSpan Unary Negation and Unary Plus operators.
using namespace System;
const __wchar_t * protoFmt = L"{0,22}{1,22}{2,22}";
void ShowDurationNegate( TimeSpan interval )
{

   // Display the TimeSpan value and the results of the 
   // Duration and Negate methods.
   Console::WriteLine( gcnew String( protoFmt ), interval, interval.Duration(), interval.Negate() );
}

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of TimeSpan::Duration( ), "
   "TimeSpan::Negate( ), \nand the TimeSpan Unary "
   "Negation and Unary Plus operators \n"
   "generates the following output.\n" );
   Console::WriteLine( gcnew String( protoFmt ), "TimeSpan", "Duration( )", "Negate( )" );
   Console::WriteLine( gcnew String( protoFmt ), "--------", "-----------", "---------" );

   // Create TimeSpan objects and apply the Unary Negation
   // and Unary Plus operators to them.
   ShowDurationNegate( TimeSpan(1) );
   ShowDurationNegate( TimeSpan( -1234567) );
   ShowDurationNegate(  +TimeSpan(0,0,10,-20,-30) );
   ShowDurationNegate(  +TimeSpan(0,-10,20,-30,40) );
   ShowDurationNegate(  -TimeSpan(1,10,20,40,160) );
   ShowDurationNegate(  -TimeSpan( -10,-20,-30,-40,-50) );
}
