Question

If i have a seconds as a int like 70 80 or 2500 how do i show it as a time of format hh:mm:ss using the most easiest way. I know i can make a separate method for it and i did but i wanna check if there is any lib func already available for it.
THis is the method i created and it works.

private void MakeTime(int seconds)
    {
        int min = 0;
        int sec = seconds;
        int hrs = 0;
        if (seconds > 59)
        {
            min = seconds / 60;
            sec = seconds % 60;
        }
        if (min > 59)
        {
            hrs = min / 60;
            min = min % 60;
        }
        string a = string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", hrs, min, sec);
    }

This is the function i am using now. it works but still i have a feeling that a single line call will do this. Any one know of any?

Answer 1

You can use TimeSpan

TimeSpan t = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds);

and

use t.Hours, t.Minutes and t.Seconds to format the string how ever you want.
