Parameters

input

Type: SystemString
A string that specifies the time interval to convert.

provider (Optional)

Type: SystemIFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information. If , then CurrentCulture will be used.

Return Value

The time interval specification is in one of the following forms:

[+|-]<number>[.<number>] <interval> { [+|-]<number>[.<number>] <interval> }*

or

[+|-]{ hh | [hh][:[mm][:ss[.ff]]] }

Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. Alternatives are separated by a vertical bar (|). A star (*) after a group enclosed in braces ({ and }) indicates that zero or more instances of the group is allowed. The '+' or '-' operators are optional and if not specified defaults to the '+' (e.g. '5h10m' is the same as '5h+10m'). If only a number is specified (e.g. '10'), then it would match the second form and be interpreted as the number of hours.

The following table describes each element.

Notes to Callers
Some formats with missing hours, minutes, and/or seconds that were supported by PI Time are not supported. For example "hh:mm" is supported, but "hh::ss", ":mm:ss", and "::s" are some formats that are not supported. The format must be supported by the DateTime.TryParse method.

This is a table of the standard intervals. Either the plural full name, non-plural full name, or short name can be used as the name of the interval. The 'Fractions Allowed' column indicates if a fractional value is allowed for the interval type.
