Hi all,

I' like to now how to use formatting strings for certain or all methods in
.net ..

I keep coming across problems such as displaying a timespan and getting
hours, mins date and all the milliseconds

back in the old C days you could put together a format string in your good
old printf command ... and it seems you can do that in c# .. but apart from
a few set commands I cant find the mechanism that allows complete control
over the strings.

I thought methods such as myTimeSpan.ToString(" some format string ") ..
would be a good place to have them .. but alas ... and it also seems that
nto all the toString() methods seem to work the same.

sometime giving it a (T)  or a (C) is not enough control .... the .Net docs
are extensive and unless you already know what your looking for .... well
...

any starting points ... such things as "hh:mm:ss" .. or these sort of things
?

regards Bob
