Dim instance As New AFTimeRange(startTime,

        endTime : string * 
        provider : IFormatProvider -> AFTimeRange

Parameters

startTime

Type: SystemString

The starting time of the time range represented by this object, specified in a string format. Strings are interpreted as local time unless it also contains a time zone indicator, such as a trailing "Z" or "GMT". PI Time formats ("*", "T", "*-1h", "+3d", etc.) are also supported.

Relative parameter rules:

• If the startTime starts with "+" or "-" (without a "*" specified), then the start time will be relative to the end time.
• If the endTime starts with "+" or "-" (without a "*" specified) and the startTime does not start with "+" or "-", then the end time will be relative to the start time.
• If neither of these conditions are true, then the times are not relative to each other.

endTime

Type: SystemString

The ending time of the time range represented by this object, specified in a string format. Strings are interpreted as local time unless it also contains a time zone indicator, such as a trailing "Z" or "GMT". PI Time formats ("*", "T", "*-1h", "+3d", etc.) are also supported.

Relative parameter rules:

• If the startTime starts with "+" or "-" (without a "*" specified), then the start time will be relative to the end time.
• If the endTime starts with "+" or "-" (without a "*" specified) and the startTime does not start with "+" or "-", then the end time will be relative to the start time.
• If neither of these conditions are true, then the times are not relative to each other.

provider

Type: SystemIFormatProvider

An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information about the time string parameters. The AFTimeZoneFormatProvider can be used to provide the AFTimeZone to be used when parsing. The AFLocaleIndependentFormatProvider can be used when parsing PI SDK locale independent time strings.

If or an AFTimeZoneFormatProvider is specified with the Provider as , then CurrentCulture will be used first when parsing the time strings. If the parsing fails in this case, then a second attempt is made to parse using InvariantCulture.
