public override string ToString()

Returns

string

A formatted representation of this period.

Remarks

The result is a valid RFC 3339 Appendix A duration (the grammar used by the JSON Schema duration format), and is produced by the same formatter used when writing a period to a JSON document, so it always round-trips back through TryParse. That grammar does not permit fractional seconds, so any sub-second component is rounded to the nearest whole second before formatting (rounding halves away from zero). Zero-valued units are omitted where the grammar allows, so for example a one-day, two-hour period is formatted as P1DT2H rather than P0Y0M1DT2H0M0S.
