What prevents you from reading MSDN help pages properly? You would get the answer much faster.

Whatever the seconds are, this is hardly time; most likely, this is a TimeSpan:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timespan.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timespan.totalseconds.aspx[^].

It's up to you how you get the time span, but most usually, this is a difference between two points of time:

C#

DateTime begin = //...
// ... time passes
DateTime end = //...
TimeSpan duration = end - pass; // prefer using operators rather then functions

If, by some weird reason, you need to show seconds of some time, you should understand that the seconds will cycle. You can show whatever you want, it's merely the matter of formatting and culture:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ht77y576.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zdtaw1bw.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8tfzyc64.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx[^].

My the main thing you need to learn is of course this: Microsoft Q209354.

Here you go :-

C#

DateTime dtNow = DateTime.Now;
CultureInfo cInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US");
DateTimeFormatInfo dtInfo = cInfo.DateTimeFormat;
dtInfo.ShortTimePattern = "ss";
yourlbl.Text = dtNow.ToString("t", cInfo);

Don't forget to add namespace using System.Globalization;

And If you want to downvote this answer please write the reason.

Good luck.

This is the simplest form to get 'seconds' only
