Question

I have a decimal value (64.17 hours) and need to convert this to a timestamp of hours, minutes and seconds but the hours value should show 64 not 16.

It should also not show the microseconds so 64.17 would be displayed as

64:10:12

Anyone help me on this? I also need to put it in an aggregate function (average in this case)

TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan();
            ts.Add(TimeSpan.FromHours(ncr_time_lost));
            Console.WriteLine(ncr_time_lost + " = " + TimeSpan.FromHours(ncr_time_lost).ToString());

            return TimeSpan.FromHours(ncr_time_lost);

Answer 1

Update Working Code
Add the below to the code part for the report

Public Function TimeSpanToString(source as Timespan) as String
    Dim result As String
    result = Convert.ToInt32(source.TotalHours).ToString() & ":" & source.Minutes.ToString() & ":" & source.Seconds

    return result
End Function

Here is the answer with an example: TimeSpan.FromHours Method.

Update:
The format “64:10:12” can be done with the following code:

static string TimeSpanToString(TimeSpan source)
{
    string result = string.Format("{0}:{1}:{2}",
        (int)source.TotalHours,
        source.Minutes,
        source.Seconds);
    return result;
}

Update:
Don’t know whether it’s correct, but try the following to use it from RDLC:

public class SomeClass
{
    public TimeSpan Time { get; set; }

    public string FormattedTime
    {
       get { return TimeSpanToString(Time); }
    }

    private static string TimeSpanToString(TimeSpan source)
    {
        // Code.
    }
}

Then try to get it from the report as "=Fields!FormattedDate.Value".
