Definition
Provides a type converter to convert TimeSpan objects to and from other representations.

Examples
The following code example converts a variable of type TimeSpan to a string, and vice versa. Both variables are represented in Ticks format.
TimeSpan ts(133333330);
String^ myTSStr = "5000000";
Console::WriteLine( TypeDescriptor::GetConverter( ts )->ConvertTo( ts, String::typeid ) );
Console::WriteLine( TypeDescriptor::GetConverter( ts )->ConvertFrom( myTSStr ) );
TimeSpan ts=new TimeSpan(133333330);
string myTSStr = "5000000";
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(ts).ConvertTo(ts, typeof(string)));
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(ts).ConvertFrom(myTSStr));
Dim ts As New TimeSpan(133333330)
Dim myTSStr As String = "5000000"
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(ts).ConvertTo(ts, GetType(String)))
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(ts).ConvertFrom(myTSStr))
Remarks
This converter can only convert a TimeSpan object to and from a string.
For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.
Note
You should never create an instance of a TimeSpanConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of the TypeDescriptor class. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class.
Constructors
