The Addition method defines the addition operator for TimeSpan values. It enables code such as the following:


Dim time1 As New TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0)   ' TimeSpan equivalent to 1 day.
Dim time2 As New TimeSpan(12, 0, 0)     ' TimeSpan equivalent to 1/2 day.
Dim time3 As TimeSpan = time1 + time2   ' Add the two time spans.

outputBlock.Text += String.Format("  {0,12}{3} +  {1,10}{3}   {4}{3}    {2,10}", _
                  time1, time2, time3, vbCrLf, New String("_"c, 10)) & vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
'           1.00:00:00
'        +    12:00:00
'          __________
'           1.12:00:00


Languages that do not support custom operators can call the Add method instead.
