Convert milliseconds to minutes etc...

Hello

I have got code to display milliseconds.

What is the best way to display the milliseconds in minutes/seconds?

Thank you.

Dim swatch As New Stopwatch()

swatch.Start()  

do

statuslabel.Text = swatch.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString

etcetera

Usually when you solve a problem you should post your solution so that other people with the same problem later can see how you solved it.

In this case, I would assume you did something like this:

MilliSeconds / 1000 = Seconds
MilliSeconds / 1000 / 60 = Minutes
MilliSeconds / 1000 / 60 / 60 = Hours

A sound idea, Rick!

Public timerstarted As Boolean = False
Public swatch As New Stopwatch()

If timerstarted = True Then

Dim ts As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(swatch.ElapsedMilliseconds)
statuslabel.Text = ts.Minutes.ToString() & ":" & ts.Seconds.ToString()

End If

swatch.Start()
timerstarted = True

That's a pretty cool method in TimeSpan, I didn't even know it existed!
