I think you can simplify this by removing the "D2" aspect of the format and then you won't need a special case for the under ten minutes option. Basically just using

string.Format("{0}m:{1}s", t.Minutes, t.Seconds);

will get you one or two digits as required. So your final case is:

string.Format("{0}h:{1}m:{2}s", t.Hours, t.Minutes, t.Seconds);
