Calculate the approximate number of milliseconds between two TDateTime values.

Declaration

Source position: dateutil.inc line 278

  function MilliSecondSpan(const ANow: TDateTime; const AThen: TDateTime)
                           : Double;

Description

MilliSecondSpan returns the number of milliseconds between ANow and AThen. Since millisecond is the smallest fraction of a TDateTime indication, the returned number will always be an integer value.
