C# How to convert Environment.TickCount into HH:mm:ss:ms

c#, int, valueconverter

Solution

I'd use a `TimeSpan` structure and in particular the FromMilliseconds static method:

var timespan = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(Environment.TickCount);

then you have all the values you want and you can use the various `ToString` options as well, namely something like

timespan.ToString("dd:hh:mm:ss:ff")

Check out this article on MSDN for the custom `TimeSpan` string formats.

Problem

I'm trying to convert an int value Environment.TickCount into a format dd:HH:mm:ss:ms (days:hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds) Is there an easy way to do it or should I divide Environment.TickCount by 60 then by 3600 then by 216000, etc ?
