TimeDelta Class—ArcGIS Pro

TimeDelta Class

In This Topic

Represents a time interval defined by a positive or negative value and a unit of time.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public class TimeDelta

Public Class TimeDelta

Remarks

Similar to System.TimeSpan this class offers advantages in that it can represent time intervals that are not uniform in time, for example months or years. TimeRange.Offset and other members accepting TimeDelta as an input are able to account and handle these irregular time periods like months or years when calculating new dates and times.

Example

Step forward in time by 1 month

public void StepMapTime()
{
  //Get the active view
  MapView mapView = MapView.Active;
  if (mapView == null)
    return;

  //Step current map time forward by 1 month
  TimeDelta timeDelta = new TimeDelta(1, TimeUnit.Months);
  mapView.Time = mapView.Time.Offset(timeDelta);
}
