'TotalMilliseconds' in .NET Micro Framework

Question

I'm a Java developer and recently started on a Netduino hobby project. I have encountered a strange problem. My compiler tells me that there is no such thing as TimeSpan.TotalMilliseconds.

Is it true, that TotalMilliseconds is something only the desktop version of .NET contains?

Answer 1

It doesn't exist in the .NET Micro Framework. Use this instead:

double totalMilliseconds = theTimeSpan.Ticks / 10000.0;

Answer 2

It is true. The TotalMilliseconds() property does not exist in the .NET Micro Framework. See MSDN reference for Timespan in Desktop Framework vs. MSDN reference for Timespan in Micro Framework.
