Number In Label converted to time.

Hello,
Anyone have any idea how I can take a label that has a number lets say 90 and convert it to time so that means it would display 1:30 but I dont want to do 90/60 =1.50 I need the label (Seconds) to display in time. Right Now I'm looking to have that display with label3

Code:

---

Option Explicit On
Public Class Form1
    Dim SecondsDifference As Integer = 2500
    Dim hms = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(SecondsDifference)
    Dim h = hms.Hours.ToString
    Dim m = hms.Minutes.ToString
    Dim s = hms.Seconds.ToString


    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim strInput As String
        strInput = RichTextBox1.Text
        Dim strSplit() As String
        strSplit = strInput.Split(CChar(" "))
        Label2.Text = "Number of Words: " & strSplit.Length
        ' Label1.Text = Math.Round(Val(Label1.Text), 2)
        ' Label3.Text = "Read Length: " & strSplit.Length / 3
        Label3.Text = "Read Time :" & CStr(Math.Round(strSplit.Length / TextBox1.Text)) & " Seconds"
        ' If Label3.text > 61 Then / 60
        ' End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        RichTextBox1.Text = ""
        Label2.Text = "Number of Words:"
        Label3.Text = "Read Time:"
    End Sub

    Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As KeyEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            Button1.PerformClick()
        End If


    End Sub

End Class

This is the actual code that works as of now..

Code:

---

Option Explicit On
Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim strInput As String
        strInput = RichTextBox1.Text
        Dim strSplit() As String
        strSplit = strInput.Split(CChar(" "))
        Label2.Text = "Number of Words: " & strSplit.Length
        ' Label1.Text = Math.Round(Val(Label1.Text), 2)
        ' Label3.Text = "Read Length: " & strSplit.Length / 3
        Label3.Text = "Read Time :" & CStr(Math.Round(strSplit.Length / TextBox1.Text)) & " Seconds"
        ' If Label3.text > 61 Then / 60
        ' End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        RichTextBox1.Text = ""
        Label2.Text = "Number of Words:"
        Label3.Text = "Read Time:"
    End Sub

    Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As KeyEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            Button1.PerformClick()
        End If


    End Sub

End Class

Your code is really confusing.
What would help would be so see a sample of the input for the richtextbox and the textbox and what you would want the output to be for that sample.

If your input is always elapsed seconds what do you want your output to be? Hours:Minutes:Seconds?

Basically I'm trying to display how long it takes to read words in a script. So what happens is this counts the number of words that are typed and divided that by in most cases 3(Avg words read in 1 second) but that can be changed in the text box.

So if the number of words divided by read time is under 60 we are good.
But if it is over it needs to be displayed in time.
If it was 90 seconds it needs to display 1:30

Use the numeric value in the label to create a TimeSpan object, then call its ToString method...

Code:

---

  Dim t As Integer = 90' assuming the value represent seconds...
Dim ts As New TimeSpan(0, 0, t)
MessageBox.Show(ts.ToString)

---

Thanks for the help. It worked! This is how I used it.

Code:

---

        Dim t As Integer = CStr((strSplit.Length / TextBox1.Text))
        Dim ts As New TimeSpan(0, 0, t)
        Label5.Text = (ts.ToString)

Glad that it's working, but code that "works" is not necessarily good code. In your code, you are dividing an integer by a string, converting that to a string, then assigning the string to an integer. That's like ironing your computer before you eat you toaster for breakfast. Turn on Option Strict, fix the errors, and you will have a much better solution.

K. I'm not good at this at all just trying to make it work for now. haha But yeah I know the code is bad.
