Convert decimal (2.75) to time (2:45) [duplicate]

Question

If I have a double like 2.75, is there a way in .Net to format it as '2:45'

If it is for example, 2.75555555555, it should round it to the nearest minute. I would not mind coding this myself, but I am wondering if .Net can. I checked ToString but did not find anything.

Thanks

Use TimeSpan and its ToString formatter:

TimeSpan timespan = TimeSpan.FromHours(2.75); string output = timespan.ToString("h\\:mm"); 

For example

TimeSpan.FromHours(2.75555).ToString("h\\:mm") 

outputs

2:45
