[RESOLVED] Minutes to Hour & minutes

[asm]

Hi

How can I convert the total minutes into hour minutes.
ex:
Total minutes : 209
I want it should display : 3 hours 29 minutes


thanks

asm

Dim time As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(209)
 
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0} hours {1} minutes", _
                              time.Hours, _
                              time.Minutes))

Note that that will only be correct if the total time is less than 24 hours. If you want to handle times greater than that then do this:

Dim time As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(209)
 
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0} hours {1} minutes", _
                              Math.Floor(time.TotalHours), _
                              time.Minutes))

[asm]

thanks for your quick help

How can I display the total minutes - get from textbox1
display in textbox2 with hour minutes

Dim TotalMinutes As Double
        TotalMinutes = Val(TextBox1.Text)
        Dim ShowTime As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(TotalMinutes)
        TextBox2.Text = ShowTime.Hours + ShowTime.Minutes
        MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0} hours {1} minutes", ShowTime.Hours, ShowTime.Minutes))

You really should apply some thought to the problem before asking for help. You display a string in a MessageBox like this:

MessageBox.Show(myString)

You display a string in a TextBox like this:

myTextBox.Text = myString

I've shown you how to create the string you want and I used the MessageBox to show it as an example. If you want to show the string in a TextBox instead then by all means do so. You already know how to create the string so you can do whatever you want with it.

thanks...

I achive the result using code:

TextBox2.Text = ShowTime.Hours.ToString + ":" + ShowTime.Minutes.ToString

[jmcilhinney]

Why not use the String.Format method like I showed you:

TextBox2.Text = String.Format("{0}:{1:00}", ShowTime.Hours, ShowTime.Minutes))

Note that I've also specified that the minutes be displayed with two digits with "{1:00}". Using your code if the minutes are not double figures you'd end up with a string like "3:9" instead of "3:09". That said, you could still use code like yours to get double-digit minutes if you use ShowTime.Minutes.ToString("00").
