Hi all,

I have two strings as follows.

11:16:18:304
11:17:32:007

I want to consider those two in time format and find the difference in milliseconds. Any comments on how to do this?

I tired,

C#

TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.Parse("11:16:18:304");

however the first colon returns an error and looking for a dot instead.

Thanks in advance!

C#

string format = "HH:mm:ss:fff";
       DateTime from = DateTime.ParseExact("11:16:18:304", format, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       DateTime to = DateTime.ParseExact("11:17:32:007", format, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       var totalmilliseconds = (to - from).TotalMilliseconds;

Solution 2

C#

DateTime t1 = DateTime.ParseExact("11:16:18:304", "HH:mm:ss:fff", null);
DateTime t2 = DateTime.ParseExact("11:17:32:007", "HH:mm:ss:fff", null);
TimeSpan t = t2 - t1;

Happy Coding!
:)

Solution 1

The format declaration for the string passed to TimeSpan.Phrase is this [ws][-]{ d | [d.]hh:mm[:ss[.ff]] }[ws].
so your string in the wrong format it should be 11:16:18.304 and 11:17:32.007!

C#

string one="11:16:18:304";
string two="11:17:32:007";

System.DateTime dt1=Convert.ToDateTime(one);
System.DatTime dt2=Convert.ToDateTime(two);

TimeSpan ts=new TimeSpan();
ts=dt1.Subtract(dt2);//ts will give the answer in a numeric term

//Then convert ts into milliseconds by using fff timespan format string...
