Which variable should I use if I want to save time values?

Question

I want to create an application that adds 1 minute and 25 seconds to a TimeLeft variable.

The problem is that I have no idea what type of variable it should be, or even how to add 1 minute 25 seconds to the remaining time.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am very familiar with C #, but since I have never done anything like this, I am in the dark.

Answer 1

I would suggest you use a variable DateTime. This will allow you to manipulate time. If you want to add 1m 25s to varible, you can simply use:

DateTime newTime = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(85);

85 (, , TimeLeft, TimeLeft DateTime)

Answer 2

TimeSpan . .

Answer 3

Use the DateTime type. Assuming your TimeLeft variable is an integer, you probably need to convert it to a DateTime type first and then do the addition. More info here
