Public Shared Function TryParse( _

'Usage
 
Dim value As String
Dim result As TdPeriodTime
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = TdPeriodTime.TryParse(value, result)

public static bool TryParse( 
   string value,
   out TdPeriodTime result
)

public:
static bool TryParse( 
   String^ value,
   [Out] TdPeriodTime result
) 

Parameters

value

The string that contains the TdPeriodTime representation.

result

The TdPeriodTime representation of the period contained in the specified string.

Return Value

TryParse is the same as Parse except that an exception does not get thrown when the conversion fails.

A period will have the following string representation:

(Beginning Time, Ending Time)

The period must be surrounded by parentheses. Both the Beginning and Ending bounds can optionally be surrounded by single quotes (" ' "). The exception to this is when the Teradata literal string representation of period is specified. The comma (" , ") is used as the delimeter between the Begin and End bounds.

Refer to TdPeriodTime.ToString for valid formats for TdPeriodTime.

If value is null or String.Empty, a false is returned and the result parameter is set to TdPeriodTime.MinValue.

If the conversion fails the result parameter will be set to TdPeriodTime.MinValue.
