Converting minutes to hours only

Question

I’m trying to solve this problem :

I’ve a large amount of minutes and I want to convert them into hours only, when I try with TimeSpan, it always shows days and hours.

My example code :

double minutes = 2000 ;
TimeSpan hours = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(minutes);
label1.Text = hours.ToString(@"hh\:mm");

The output result is 09:20 but I wanted this result 33:20

How can I convert minutes to get exact numbers of hours ?

Answer 1

This code produces the 33:20 result you're asking:

double minutes = 2000;
TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(minutes);
var res = $"{(int)ts.TotalHours}:{ts.Minutes}";
