display number in time format

[eugz]

Hi All.
I have parent DGV form and child Detail form. The user enter data in Detail from, for instance, the field AbsenceDays keep number of days like integer. If it possible, how to display in DGV that number in time format HHH:00?
Example: user will enter 5 in field AbsenceDays but in DGV I would like to display 35:00.
Thanks.

Maybe I am missing something but why would 35 be equivalent to 5

You need to write a fragment code to format it.

like this:

 Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
 Dim The_time as integer       
 Dim mm, ss As Integer
        mm = Int(The_Time / 60)
        ss = The_Time Mod 60
        Time_Label.Text = (Format(mm, "00") & ":" & Format(ss, "00"))
        The_Time += 1
    End Sub

I can only assume that 5 days at 7 hours a day is 35 hours. Of course, it would be nice if people were to explain things in the first place so we didn't have to assume. If that is the case then it would simply be:

Dim days = 5
Dim hours = days * 7
 
MessageBox.Show(hours.ToString("0':00'"))
