I have a program that processes a large number of records & would like to
display the remaining time, in days:hours:minutes.

I'm looking to do something like:

Dim tsTimeRemaining as System.Timespan
Dim tsElapsedTime as System.Timespan
dtTimeRemaining = intRemainingRecords * (tsElapsedTime /
intRecordsAlreadyProcessed)

Could someone help me out with the appropriate arithmetic
operators/casts/etc.



Thanks.

Function GetTotalTime( _
ByVal Counter As Integer, _
ByVal Total As Integer, _
ByVal Elapsed As TimeSpan, _
ByRef Remaining As TimeSpan) _
As TimeSpan

GetTotalTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Elapsed.TotalSeconds / Counter *
Total)
Remaining = GetTotalTime.Subtract(Elapsed)

End Function

Returns the total time as the function value and the remaining time as a
parameter.
