Thanks Evan, here's what worked for me to get the span of time:
<property name="build.starttime" value="${datetime::now()}"/>
...do some stuff that takes time
<property name="build.endtime" value="${datetime::now()}"/>
<echo message="Seconds to perform build: ${timespan::get-seconds(timespan::from-ticks(datetime::get-ticks(build.endtime) - datetime::get-ticks(build.starttime)))}" />

This is wordy, but *should* work (i.e. I haven't tested):
timespan::get-seconds(timespan::from-ticks(datetime::get-ticks(datetime:
:now()) - datetime::get-ticks(SomePropertyHoldingTheStartingDatetime)))
... would give you the number of seconds between now and then. For
other time types, substitute timespan::get-seconds for
timespan::get-minutes, timespan::get-hours, etc.

Subject: [Nant-users] Calculating a span of time
I haven't found a way to determine the amount of time between a start
and stop time...for instance:
<property name="build.starttime" value="${datetime::now()}"/>
...do some stuff that takes time
<property name="build.endtime" value="${datetime::now()}"/>
I want to know how long between the two time periods in minutes and
seconds...
I tried to play with the timespan functions, but haven't found a way to
successfully convert the property resulting from datetime::now into an
Int...or I'm not using them correctly.
I imagine there are a couple ways to accomplish this, but hoping for
some assistance.
Thanks,
Robert
