Calculating Time in VB .NetI'm learning to program with VB .Net. I'm trying to write a program that
will calculate jogging time. I have Text boxes for Distance1, Distance2, Speed1, Speed2, Time1, Time2, and Total Time. For example, say I run 2 miles at 8mph (7:30 minute miles) and 1 mile at 7.5mph (8 minute miles). I enter 2 in Distance1, 1 in Distance2, 8 in Speed1, and 7.5 in Speed2. I can calculate in decimal (10.25, 10.5, 10.75 minutes, etc.) How would I calculate the three times in minutes and seconds (10:15. 10:30, 10:45)? Thanks! Brian,
This sounds like a student question. Basicly you calculate it in the same way as on a piece of paper, however you use than some code to do that, which differs not much from that.

Than in addition to Armin is TimeSpan what you need and than the method "FromSeconds" or an equivalent. I write that because I have seen that these ones are easily missed. I hope this helps, Cor I thought that I gave the link
