Convert Timespan to the String Format

Hello Everyone,

Can you help to converting Timespan format to the String in “HH:mm” format?

Example:
var timeSpan = [1.03:34:23.8121360] , which is 1 day 3 hours 34 minutes xxx
var String = “27:34” , which is 27 hours 34 minutes

Regards,
Brian

Hi @henokhbrian

Try this below expression

System.Math.Floor(variable.TotalHours).ToString & variable.ToString(“:HH:mm”)

Hi @henokhbrian ,

Timespan might contain the keyword “Time” in it, but it has nothing to do with Dates, which is why we can’t use string implementations.

Its a collection of ticks, so the only workaround for it is like so:

Assign →

spn_variable = TimeSpan.Parse("1.03:34:23.8121360")
spn_variable.Hours.ToString+":"+spn_variable.Seconds.ToString

Or

String.Format("{0}:{1}",spn_variable.Hours,spn_variable.Seconds)

I hope that helps.

Kind Regards,

thanks you for your attention and your help for my question. In other way, i have tried combine the methods from your answers to this:

System.Math.Floor(timespanVariable.TotalHours).ToString + “:” + timespanVariable.Minutes.ToString

and the output is: “27:34”
