timespan

In ActionScript 3.0, is there an automatic way to calculate the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds between two specified dates? Basicly, what I need is the ActionScript equivalent of the .NET Timespan class. Any idea? I created an ActionScript TimeSpan class with a similar API to System.TimeSpan to fill that void, but there are differences due to the lack of operator overloading. You can use it like so: TimeSpan.fromDates(later, earlier).totalDays; Below is the code for the class (sorry for the big post - I won't include the Unit Tests ;) /** * Represents an interval of time */ public

I would like to know if there is a way to convert a 24 Hour time formatted string to a TimeSpan. Right now I have a "old fashion style": string stringTime = "07:35"; string[] values = stringTime.Split(':'); TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(values[0], values[1], 0); While correct that this will work: TimeSpan time = TimeSpan.Parse("07:35"); And if you are using it for validation... TimeSpan time; if (!TimeSpan.TryParse("07:35", out time)) { // handle validation error } Consider that TimeSpan is primarily intended to work with elapsed time, rather than time-of-day. It will accept values larger than 24

I am saving a TimeSpan (from .NET) value in my db as BIGINT in SQL Server (saving the Ticks property). I want to know how to convert this BIGINT value to a DATETIME value in SQL Server (not in .NET). Any ideas? Cheers EDIT: I am using NHibernate to map a TimeSpan property I have, and it persists the Ticks property. I use it for relative hours (or minutes) control over some date. Internally in the system everything is fine, this conversion isn't needed. However, when performing random queries in SQL Server, it is hard to understand the persisted form of a TimeSpan . So, a function where I pass

I was just wondering if there is a need of TimeSpan in java.util so that I can define how much hours,minutes and seconds are there in between these two times. From this TimeSpan we can have a time interval between two times. like TimeSpan getTimeSpan( Date before, Date after ){...} or long timeSpan = System.currentTimeMillis(); // ... long job timeSpan = System.currentTimeMillis() - timeSpan; TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(timeSpan); and with this TimeSpan we can use it in SimpleDateFormat . SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss"); format.format( timsSpan ); I am not sure if

I would like to know a simple algorithm to check if the given instance of datetime lies between another two instances in C# . Note: I skimmed though this How do I check if a given datetime object is "between" two datetimes? and it was for python and many more for php. Most of the other questions were regarding difference between the two. Details: I am more specific about the time, date does not matter to me. For example i got DataBase entry for a staff who works between 10:00 Am - 9:00 Pm and me as principal[for example] would like to know which staff is engaged in class at the given time like

I have two textboxes. One for a clock in time and one for clock out. The times will be put in this format: Hours:Minutes Lets say I have clocked in at 7:00 AM and clocked out at 2:00 PM. With my current code, I get a difference of 2 hours, but it should be 7 hours. How would I do that in C#. I was going to convert to the 24 hour, by letting the user select AM or PM, but I got confused. So, basically, how would I calculate the difference of hours between the two times? I tried this, but got 2 hours and not 7 when I plugged in the numbers. DateTime startTime = Convert.ToDateTime(textBox1.Text);
