How to display a TimeSpan in MVC Razor

Question

So I have a duration in seconds of a video and I would like to display that duration in Razor.

Currently I am using

@TimeSpan.FromSeconds(item.Dura         


        

Answer 1

You can extend your model class using a partial class definition.

public partial class My_class_that_has_been_created_by_EF {
    public string Timespan {
        get { 
            return Timespan.FromSeconds(Duration).ToString(); 
        }
    }
}

Then use it in your view with

@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Timespan)
