How do I convert ticks to minutes?

Question

I have a ticks value of 28000000000 which should be 480 minutes but how can I be sure? How do I convert a ticks value to minutes?

Answer 1

The clearest way in my view is to use TimeSpan.FromTicks and then convert that to minutes:

TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.FromTicks(ticks);
double minutes = ts.TotalMinutes;
