Something like:

public static string Convert(int secs)
{
return DateTime.Now.Date.AddSeconds(secs).ToString("HH:mm:ss");
}


?

Something like:

public static string Convert(int secs)
{
return
DateTime.Now.Date.AddSeconds(secs).ToString("HH:mm:ss");
}

Maybe that does not hit the nail on the head.

A date in Seconds is usually a unix timestamp with seconds since epoch.

new DateTime(1970,1,1).AddSeconds(secs).ToString("yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss");

should do this.

That is very common. And it could very well be the case here as well.
I just did not see it as a good fit for this question.

new DateTime(1970,1,1).AddSeconds(secs).ToString("yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss");

should do this.

Seconds since start of 1970 is usually since start of 1970 GMT, so
you would need to do something to handle timezones other than GMT.

Example:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace E
{
public class Program
{
private static readonly DateTime epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1,
1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
[DllImport("msvcrt.dll")]
public static extern long time(IntPtr t);
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
long t = time(IntPtr.Zero);
DateTime now = epoch.AddSeconds(t).ToLocalTime();
Console.WriteLine(now);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
