timespan

Excuse the rough code, I'm trying to display the duration of videos given the time in seconds. I've had a go below but it's not working properly. I want it to just display nicely - i.e should display 9m:59s not 09m:59s. If hours are zero dont display hours, if minutes are zero dont display minutes. public static string GetTimeSpan(int secs) { TimeSpan t = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(secs); string answer; if (secs < 60) { answer = string.Format("{0:D2}s", t.Seconds); } else if (secs < 600)//tenmins { answer = string.Format("{0:m}m:{1:D2}s", t.Minutes, t.Seconds); } else if (secs < 3600)//hour { answer

I just want to add 1 day to a DateTime . So I wrote: DateTime date = new DateTime(2010, 4, 29, 10, 25, 00); TimeSpan t = new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0); date.Add(t); Console.WriteLine("A day after the day: " + date.ToString()); I thought the result would be: 2010 04 30- 10:25:00 but I'm still getting the initial date. What's wrong? DateTime values are immutable . The Add method returns a new DateTime value with the TimeSpan added. This works: Console.WriteLine("A day after the day: " + date.Add(t).ToString()); You need to change a line: date = date.Add(t); dtb is right about DateTime being immutable

In my c# program, my requirement is to calculate a timespan for business logic execution that is inside a foreach loop I have to store time span. I am using following code for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { DateTime start= DateTime.Now; // Business logic DateTime end= DateTime.Now; TimeSpan time = start.Subtract(end); // Save timespan in log file } Please correct me whether I am using right code, or do I need to modify for better performance and result. You should use a Stopwatch . The Stopwatch is much more accurate for time measurement than the wall time clock. var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew(); //

I want to remove the seconds from timespan using c# My code is here: TimeSpan lateaftertime = new TimeSpan(); lateaftertime = lateafter - Convert.ToDateTime(intime) ; It returns the value 00:10:00 But i want the below output : 00:10 only not seconds field :00 . Well you can simply do as string.Format("{0}:{1}", ts.Hours,ts.Minutes) // it would display 2:5 EDIT to get it properly formatted use string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", ts.Hours,ts.Minutes) // it should display 02:05 Note that a TimeSpan does not have a format . It's stored in some internal representation which does not resemble 00:10:00 at

This question already has answers here : What is the best way to divide two TimeSpan objects? (4 answers) I have a value in TimeSpan , let's say: tsp1 = 2 hour 5 minutes. I have another TimeSpan variable which contains a value like: tsp2 = 0 hours 2 minutes Please tell me how I can divide tsp1 by tsp2 so that I can get the exact number of times tsp2 divides into tsp1 and what the remainder is. I am using Visual Studio 2008. Thanks. The simplest approach is probably just to take their lengths in ticks, and divide those. For example: long ticks1 = tsp1.Ticks; long ticks2 = tsp2.Ticks; long
