DateTimeOffset.Second Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets the second component of the clock time represented by the current DateTimeOffset object.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Second As Integer

public int Second { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
The second component of the DateTimeOffset object, expressed as an integer value between 0 and 59.

Remarks

The Second property is not affected by the value of the Offset property.

You can also create a string representation of a DateTimeOffset object's second component by calling the ToString method with the "s", or "ss" custom format specifiers.

Examples

The following example displays the second component of a DateTimeOffset object in three different ways:

By retrieving the value of the Second property.
By calling the ToString(String) method with the "s" format specifier.
By calling the ToString(String) method with the "ss" format specifier.

Dim theTime As New DateTimeOffset(#6/12/2008 9:16:32 PM#, _
                                       DateTimeOffset.Now.Offset)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The second component of {0} is {1}.", _
                  theTime, theTime.Second) & vbCrLf

outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The second component of {0} is{1}.", _
                  theTime, theTime.ToString(" s")) & vbCrLf

outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The second component of {0} is {1}.", _
                  theTime, theTime.ToString("ss")) & vbCrLf
' The example produces the following output:
'    The second component of 6/12/2008 9:16:32 PM -07:00 is 32.
'    The second component of 6/12/2008 9:16:32 PM -07:00 is 32.
'    The second component of 6/12/2008 9:16:32 PM -07:00 is 32.

DateTimeOffset theTime = new DateTimeOffset(2008, 6, 12, 21, 16, 32,
                             DateTimeOffset.Now.Offset);
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The second component of {0} is {1}.",
                  theTime, theTime.Second) + "\n";

outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The second component of {0} is{1}.",
                  theTime, theTime.ToString(" s")) + "\n";

outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The second component of {0} is {1}.",
                  theTime, theTime.ToString("ss")) + "\n";
// The example produces the following output:
//    The second component of 6/12/2008 9:16:32 PM -07:00 is 32.
//    The second component of 6/12/2008 9:16:32 PM -07:00 is 32.
//    The second component of 6/12/2008 9:16:32 PM -07:00 is 32.
