TimeSpan remove seconds

How do you truncate the seconds bit from a timespan object in C#? i.e. 15:37

I'm outputting a timespan object to JavaScript in the format of HH:mm and kind of want the server side to process providing the correct format instead of clients browsers, can that be done without providing this as a C# string object to JavaScript?

Maybe not optimal, but easy to read:

TimeSpan.FromMinutes((long)duration.TotalMinutes);

Perhaps something like this. This truncates to minutes using the truncation of an integer division, followed by a multiplication by the divisor.

return TimeSpan.FromTicks(input.Ticks/TicksPerMinute*TicksPerMinute);

You can truncate the 'ticks' value which is the core of a TimeSpan:

TimeSpan t1 = TimeSpan.FromHours(1.551);
Console.WriteLine(t1);
TimeSpan t2 = new TimeSpan(t1.Ticks - (t1.Ticks % 600000000));
Console.WriteLine(t2);

Gives: 

01:33:03.6000000
01:33:00

You can use a format string for that:

public string GetTimeSpanAsString(TimeSpan input)
{
    return input.ToString(@"hh\:mm");
}

I believe this is what you're looking for.

string.Format("{0:H:mm}",myTime)
