Ticks Property

Gets the count of clock ticks representing the current DateTime value.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property Ticks As Long

C#

public long Ticks {get;}

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.NullReferenceException	Thrown when the SmartDate is empty (determined by when IsEmpty returns True) and the count of clock ticks matches the sentinel value used to determine emptiness.

Remarks

A clock tick is a time-interval of 100-nanoseconds.

When EmptyIsMin is true, the count of clock ticks must be greater than MinValue and less than or equal to MaxValue. When EmptyIsMin is false, the count of clock ticks must be greater than or equal to MinValue and less than MaxValue. The value returned by Ticks must necessarily exclude the DateTime sentinel value used to denote an empty SmartDate instance.
