How to convert seconds into (Year:Month:Day Hour:Minutes:Seconds) time?

What is the best way to convert seconds into (Year:Month:Day Hour:Minutes:Seconds) time?

Let's say I have 959040000 seconds (1 year 5 months), are there any specialized classes/techniques in .NET that would allow me to convert those 959040000 seconds into (Year:Month:Day Hour:Minutes:Seconds) like to DateTime or something?

To tell the truth, you can't because it depends on the start date i.e. 30 days may be 1 month 1 day, or 1 month 2 days, or less than a month or 365 days will be less than a year if it's a leap year.

But, you can use:

TimeSpan diff = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(959040000);
string formatted = string.Format(
      CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
      "{0} years, {1} months, {2} days, {3} hours, {4} minutes, {5} seconds",
      diff.Days / 365,
      (diff.Days - (diff.Days / 365) * 365)/30,
      (diff.Days - (diff.Days / 365) * 365) - ((diff.Days - (diff.Days / 365) * 365) / 30)*30,
      diff.Hours,
      diff.Minutes,
      diff.Seconds);

Console.WriteLine(formatted);

Output is:

30, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0

If you enter 856044326 the output will be:

27, 1, 22, 22, 5, 26

use the TimeSpan class:

var ts = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 959040000);
int days = ts.Days;
int years = days / 365;

Here is another trick.. you can also use time span 

DateTime date, date2;
           date = date2 = DateTime.Now;
           date2= date2.AddSeconds(959040000);
           var totaldays = (date2 - date).TotalDays;
           var totalHours = (date2 - date).TotalHours;
           var Totalmin = (date2 - date).TotalMinutes;
           var years = totaldays / 365;
