TimeSpan.FromMinutes() Method in C#

The TimeSpan.FromMinutes() method in C# is used to return a TimeSpan that represents a specified number of minutes, where the specification is accurate to the nearest millisecond.

Syntax

public static TimeSpan FromMinutes (double val);

Above, the value val is the number of minutes, accurate to the nearest millisecond.

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      TimeSpan span1 = TimeSpan.FromHours(0.78787);
      TimeSpan span2 = new TimeSpan(10, 30, 40);
      TimeSpan span3 = TimeSpan.FromHours(5);
      TimeSpan span4 = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1);
      TimeSpan span5 = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(100);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan1 = "+span1);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan2 = "+span2);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan3 = "+span3);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan4 = "+span4);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan5 = "+span5);
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span1 and span2) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span1, span2));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span2 and span3) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span2, span3));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span1 and span3) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span1, span3));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span3 and span4) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span3, span4));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span4 and span5) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span4, span5));
   }
}

Output

TimeSpan1 = 00:47:16.3320000
TimeSpan2 = 10:30:40
TimeSpan3 = 05:00:00
TimeSpan4 = 00:00:00.0010000
TimeSpan5 = 01:40:00
Result (Comparison of span1 and span2) = -1
Result (Comparison of span2 and span3) = 1
Result (Comparison of span1 and span3) = -1
Result (Comparison of span3 and span4) = 1
Result (Comparison of span4 and span5) = -1

      TimeSpan span3 = TimeSpan.FromHours(.78);
      TimeSpan span4 = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1);
      TimeSpan span5 = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(150);
