Time functions

[Brad]

A program takes a number of entries and multiplies that number by 2.5
(representing 2 and a half minutes per entry). This gives me a number that
I want to display the actual minutes and seconds.

Is there a built in function in VB .Net to take that number and convert to
minutes/seconds?

Thanks for the information.

Brad,

Yes, multiply it by 150 instead of 2.5 than you can write.

Messagebox.show(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3 * 150).ToString())

I hope this helps,

Cor

The number is already in minutes, isn't it? You may want to take a look at
'TimeSpan' and 'DateTime' for date/time calculations and formatting.

Look at the TimeSpan

for example this gives you how long 100000 seconds is:

Dim ts As New TimeSpan(0, 0, 100000)
MsgBox(ts.ToString)

Thanks guys for the information. The TimeSpan function works just great.
