NormalSpan Property (DateInterval)

Returns the estimated amount of time spanned in a cycle generated by this instance, which is derived by multiplying the value of the Interval property by the scalar defined by the value of the IntervalUnits property.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property NormalSpan As TimeSpan

C#

public override TimeSpan NormalSpan {get;}

Remarks

Since some months of the year have a different number of days than others, and leap years have more days than "normal" years, it is not always possible to know the exact amount of time spanned by an interval without providing a specific date as a context. The NormalSpan property provides an estimation of this by normalizing months and years; for the purposes of sorting the members of the AdditionalIntervals collection, and determining which ones can appear, all DateInterval instances whose IntervalUnits property is set to 'Months' are assumed to contain 30 days, and all instances whose IntervalUnits property is set to 'Years' are assumed to have 365 days.
