Constructors

PeriodBuilder()

Creates a new period builder with an initially zero period.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3, netstandard2.0

Declaration

public PeriodBuilder()

PeriodBuilder(Period)

Creates a new period builder with the values from an existing period. Calling this constructor instead of ToBuilder() allows object initializers to be used.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3, netstandard2.0

Declaration

public PeriodBuilder(Period period)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Period	period	An existing period to copy values from.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	period is null.

Properties

Days

Gets or sets the number of days within the period.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3, netstandard2.0

Declaration

public int Days { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Int32	The number of days within the period.

Hours

Gets or sets the number of hours within the period.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3, netstandard2.0

Declaration

public long Hours { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Int64	The number of hours within the period.

Item[PeriodUnits]

Gets or sets the value of a single unit.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3, netstandard2.0

Declaration

public long this[PeriodUnits unit] { get; set; }

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
PeriodUnits	unit	A single value within the PeriodUnits enumeration.

Property Value

Type	Description
Int64	The value of the given unit within this period builder, or zero if the unit is unset.

Remarks

The type of this indexer is Int64 for uniformity, but any date unit (year, month, week, day) will only ever have a value in the range of Int32.

For the Nanoseconds unit, the value is converted to Int64 when reading from the indexer, causing it to fail if the value is out of range (around 250 years). To access the values of very large numbers of nanoseconds, use the Nanoseconds property directly.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	unit is not a single unit, or a value is provided for a date unit which is outside the range of Int32.

Milliseconds

Gets or sets the number of milliseconds within the period.

Since 1.0.x
