Stopwatch shows only seconds

I have a program with a Timer using the StopWatch class. There is a Label that shows Hours, Minutes and seconds like this:

label.Text = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", stopwatch.Elapsed.Hours, stopwatch.Elapsed.Minutes, stopwatch.Elapsed.Seconds);

This will get the elapsed seconds into the label:

label.Text = $"{stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds / 1000}";

Or this:

label.Text = $"{(int)stopwatch.Elapsed.TotalSeconds}";

Stopwatch.Elapsed is property of struct TimeSpan, which has bunch of properties with names starting with Total, for example:

TimeSpan.FromMinutes(121).TotalHours  // 2.0166666666666666
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(67).TotalSeconds // 67

You may want to use the TotalSeconds property:

double totalSeconds = stopwatch.Elapsed.TotalSeconds;

To assign this value to your Labels Text property, do the following:

label.Text = totalSeconds.ToString();

Consider a cast to int or round the value, if you want to display full seconds only.
