C# Timespan Milliseconds vs TotalMilliseconds
In the example below, why does the Milliseconds
property return 0
but the TotalMilliseconds
property return 5000
?
// 5 seconds
TimeSpan intervalTimespan = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5);
// returns 0
intervalTimespan.Milliseconds;
// returns 5000.0
intervalTimespan.TotalMilliseconds
Solution 1:
Simple:
-
Milliseconds
are the remaining milliseconds, that don't form a whole second. -
TotalMilliseconds
is the complete duration of the timespan expressed as milliseconds.
Solution 2:
Because Milliseconds
returns the Milliseconds portion, and TotalMilliseconds returns the total milliseconds represented by the Timespan
Example: 0:00:05.047
Milliseconds: 47
Total Milliseconds: 5047
