I have a ticks value of 28000000000 which should be 480 minutes but how can I be sure? How do I convert a ticks value to minutes?
Thanks

You can do this way :
Timespan duration = new Timespan(tickCount)
double minutes = duration.TotalMinutes;
A single tick represents one hundred nanoseconds or one ten-millionth of a second. FROM MSDN.
So 28 000 000 000 * 1/10 000 000 = 2 800 sec. 2 800 sec /60 = 46.6666min
Or you can do it programmaticly with TimeSpan:
static void Main()
{
TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.FromTicks(28000000000);
double minutesFromTs = ts.TotalMinutes;
Console.WriteLine(minutesFromTs);
Console.Read();
}
Both give me 46 min and not 480 min...
The clearest way in my view is to use TimeSpan.FromTicks and then convert that to minutes:
TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.FromTicks(ticks);
double minutes = ts.TotalMinutes;
