[RESOLVED] [2005] Format output of Stopwatch

[jmcilhinney]

Ah, sorry about that. I have used code like this before and I left a bit out. You do use TotalMinutes, not Minutes, but to account for the issue you mention you have to trucate the decimal part first. Change my code to this:

Dim elapsed As TimeSpan = myStopwatch.Elapsed
 
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}.{2:000}", _
                              Math.Floor(elapsed.TotalMinutes), _
                              elapsed.Seconds, _
                              elapsed.Milliseconds))

The Math.Floor method will remove the decimal part of the value, thus ensuring it will never be rounded up.
