How to measure a Timespan in milliseconds in NT 7 ?

[pstrusi]

Hi NT,

I'm able to obtain aTimespan in seconds but I'm still not able to get it in milliseconds.

I've been trying to change properties to this script instruction

td0 = t0.Subtract(t1).Seconds;

but it doesn't work.

Is there any simple way to achieve this ?

Thanks in advance

Hello pstrusi,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You would be able to obtain the total amount of milliseconds in a TimeSpan object by using the TotalMilliseconds property.

More information about TotalMilliseconds can be found at this MSDN link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...v=vs.110).aspx

So, using your example:

td0 = t0.Subtract(t1);
Print(td0.TotalMilliseconds);

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

It doesn't work in that simple manner that you suggest. Reading msdn, it seems that a Timespan variable type should be created first.

Thanks anyway

Hello pstrusi,

Yes, you would need to create a TimeSpan variable.

I apologize as I thought that td0 was a TimeSpan object and t0 and t1 were DateTime objects.

private TimeSpan td0;
private DateTime t0;
private DateTime t1;

// assign times to t0 and t1
.....

td0 = t0.Subtract(t1);
Print(td0.TotalMilliseconds);

Hi Zachary, thanks for your help.

Well it works, BUT the milliseconds that it gives it's just the seconds x 1000, it doesn't measure with the precision of milliseconds. Is there any way to get the real precision of milliseconds ?

I think I got it. Simply using t0 = DateTime.Now; before I was using t0 = Time[0]

Thanks for your help
