static TimeSpan FromTicks(long value);public static TimeSpan FromTicks(long value);static member FromTicks : int64 -> TimeSpanPublic Shared Function FromTicks (value As Long) As TimeSpanParameters
- value
- Int64
A number of ticks that represent a time.
Returns
An object that represents value.
Examples
The following example creates several TimeSpan objects using the FromTicks method.
// Example of the TimeSpan.FromTicks( long ) method.
using System;

// Pad the end of the TimeSpan string with spaces if it
// does not contain milliseconds.

Remarks
This is a convenience method with the same behavior as the TimeSpan.TimeSpan(Int64) constructor. A single tick represents one hundred nanoseconds or one ten-millionth of a second. There are 10,000 ticks in a millisecond.
