but this erro

Answer 1

From TimeSpan.ToString Method (String)

TimeSpan t = new TimeSpan(14, 53, 0);
Console.WriteLine(t.ToString(@"hh\:mm"));

As an alternative you can use String.Format like;

Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}:{1}", t.Hours, t.Minutes));

• Standard TimeSpan Format Strings
• Custom TimeSpan Format Strings

Remember, TimeSpan.ToString(String) overload only avaiable for .NET 4 or higher.
