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

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

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

Parameters

value

The string that contains the TdPeriodTimestamp representation.

result

The TdPeriodTimestamp 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 format:

(Beginning Bound, Ending Bound)

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 timestamps.

Refer to TdPeriodTimestamp.ToString for valid formats for TdPeriodTimestamp.

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

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