System.TimeSpan
Represents a period of time, for example 2 hours, 15 minutes
Allows you to store a measured interval of time
TimeSpan stored its time interval as the number of ticks equal to that interval
Dim objTimeSpan As System.TimeSpan
objTimeSpan = System.TimeSpan.FromDays(2)
This is measures as a positive or negative number of days, hours, minutes and seconds (as fractions)
Dim objTimeSpan As System.TimeSpan
objTimeSpan = New System.TimeSpan(2,12,0,0) ' 2.5 days
objTimeSpan = New System.TimeSpan(4,12) '4.5 days
objTimeSpan = New System.TimeSpan(2,14,18) '??
TimeSpan.Zero
objTimeSpan = objDateTime1 - objDateTime2
in .NET 4.0 the timespan structure supports custom formatting using the .ToString method ??
