Bug In System.TimeSpan Object?

Is it possible there is a bug with the System.TimeSpan object in .NET?
I am using it to track times and am seeing an unusual situation.

From what I understand, there are 1000 milliseconds in a second. I
have a test I ran using the TimeSpan object which when I use
TimeSpan.Millis econds I got 658 but if I use TimeSpan.Second s I get 5.

If it took 658 milliseconds that should be less than 1 second right?
658 milliseconds should not convert to 5 seconds should it?

You are confusing TimeSpan.Millis econds and TimeSpan.TotalM illiseconds. If
your time span was 5.658 seconds long, then:

TimeSpan.Second s = 5
TimeSpan.Millis econds = 658
TimeSpan.TotalM illiseconds = 5658

I want the timer to fire after a mount of time, so I wrote "new Timer(new TimeCallback (some_function), null, timeDiff, new TimeSpan)".When I ran the program, VS.NET popped a MsgBox that told me the timer interval must be...

System.DateTime returns a string with the date and time. I want to convert the time to an integer, for example, convert 10:24:45 to 102445. Much research has turned up a myriad of variations on formatting using Parse and DateTimeFormatInfo, but nothing that returns the time as an integer. Any ideas? Thanks. DW

In Visual Studio (Visual Basic) .NET 2002, I noticed that this: Dim Elapsed as DateTime = Now - Now gives a "compile time" error (error in the IDE), saying that the '-' operator is not defined for the Date datatype. On the other hand, Dim Elapsed as DateTime = Now + Now does not give a compile time error but it thinks you're...
