How to convert seconds to HH:MM:ss format

Question

Write a C# program that prompts the user to input the elapsed time for an event in seconds. The program then outputs the elapsed time in hours, minutes, and seconds. (for example, if the elapsed time is 9630 seconds, then the output is 2:40:30.)

Can anyone pls help me!!
Im using visual studio 2005

 

Answer 1

Simple solution would be:

int seconds = 10000; //or whatever time you have
string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}",seconds/3600,(seconds/60)%60,seconds%60);

would output:

"02:46:40"

if you'd like 2:46:40 you will need to change first item in format string from {0:00} to {0}


of course instead of dividing the seconds by 60 and 3600 you could use TimeSpan or DateTime classes, and get minutes/hours from there.

Code Block

TimeSpan span = new TimeSpan(0,0,10000);

Console.WriteLine("{0:0}{1:00}{2:00}",span.Hours,span.Minutes,span.Seconds);

 

 

 

 

Answer 3

Thank a lot for your suggestion, here it works.

But still than i have some problem while populating GridView

I ahve the query from the table as follows...

cmd = "select subscriber_id as Subscriber_no,other_party as Dialed_no,duration from TableName";

FbDataAdapter da = new FbDataAdapter(cmd, dsn);

 

My objective is in the above query the duration comes from database as no. of seconds.

I want to display in my GridView as hh:mms format(00:21:30).

 

Note: I am not using boundcoloumn property in GridView.
