Convert Minute to Two Digit

Please have a look on the code below:

DateTime timerTest = timerView;
txbTimer.Text = timerTest.Day + "/" + timerTest.Month + "/" + timerTest.Year + " " + timerTest.Hour + ":" +  timerTest.Minute;

I am suppose to get Date and Time in the txbTimer Which I am getting. If the date is 14/8/2015 14:10

But when the time (minute) is 01 - 09 the txbTimer will become 14/8/2015 14:1 in this case I wanted the expected output like 14:01 and not 14:1

Please help me

Edit

My Code is

I think the lines which adds hours and days might be changing so here is the updated code.

DateTime timerView = DateTime.Now;
DateTime timerTest = timerView;

if(robHour.Checked == true)
    timerTest = timerView.Add(new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0, 0));
else if(robDay.Checked == true)
    timerTest = timerView.Add(new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0));

txbTimer.Text = timerTest.ToString(); //timerTest.Day + "/" + timerTest.Month + "/" + timerTest.Year + " " + timerTest.Hour + ":" + timerTest.Minute.ToString();

To get the minute component of a DateTime as a number from 00 through 59, use the "mm" custom format specifier.

DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(2008, 1, 1, 18, 9, 1);
Console.WriteLine(dateTime.ToString("mm"));

// Displays "01"

This will solve the issue you are facing 

DateTime timerView = DateTime.Now;
DateTime timerTest = timerView;

if(robHour.Checked == true)
    timerTest = timerView.Add(new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0, 0));
else if(robDay.Checked == true)
    timerTest = timerView.Add(new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0));

txbTimer.Text = timerTest.Day + 
               "/" + timerTest.Month + "/" + 
               timerTest.Year + " " + timerTest.Hour + 
               ":" +  timerTest.Minute.ToString("D2");

Use this

timerTest.Minute.ToString("D2");

For more formatting follow this link

Here are examples provided by MSDN

1234.ToString("D")     -> 1234
(-1234).ToString("D6") -> -001234

DateTime timerTest = timerView;
var result = timerTest.ToString("dd/M/yyyy hh:mm");
/*
dd -> two digit day
M -> one digit month
yyyy -> four digit year
hh -> two digit hour
mm -> two digit minute
*/

HH:(00-23) will look like 00, 01..23.
hh:(01-12 in AM/PM) will look like 01, 02..12.

Minute property of a DateTime returns integer. That means it can't have any leading zeros.

You can use mm format specifier to get it's string representation with leading zeros for single digit minutes.

By the way, your method is not a good way to get string representation of a DateTime. Using ToString() method with a culture that have / as a DateSeparator and : as a TimeSeparator (eg: InvariantCulture ) is better.

txbTimer.Text = timerTest.ToString("dd/M/yyyy HH:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Here a demonstration.

You might want to use DateTime Format strings:

txbTimer.Text = timerTest.ToString("d/M/yyyy HH:mm");

Working example here.

Also take a look at one of the pre-defined standard formats.
