Question

I need to show also the minutes, actually I use this code for show the seconds, but also need the minutes

TimeSpan ts = stopwatch.Elapsed;
Console.WriteLine(\"F         


        

Answer 1

You should use:

ts.ToString("mm\\:ss\\.ff")

this will give you minutes, seconds and the hundredths of a second in a time interval.

also take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee372287.aspx

EDITED: well if you want minutes be your biggest unit you can do the following:

string.Format("{0}:{1}", Math.Floor(ts.TotalMinutes), ts.ToString("ss\\.ff"))
