TimeSpan.GetHashCode Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns a hash code for this instance.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetHashCode As Integer
public override int GetHashCode()

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

' Example for the TimeSpan.GetHashCode( ) method.

Module Example
   Sub DisplayHashCode(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal interval As TimeSpan)

      ' Create a hash code and a string representation of

      ' Pad the end of the TimeSpan string with spaces if it 
      ' does not contain milliseconds.
      Dim pIndex As Integer = timeInterval.IndexOf(":"c)
      pIndex = timeInterval.IndexOf("."c, pIndex)
