Solution 2

Please see:
TimeSpan.ToString Method (String) (System),
TimeSpan.ToString Method (String, IFormatProvider) (System),
Standard TimeSpan Format Strings,
Custom TimeSpan Format Strings.

The structure System.TimeSpan itself has no any format; its representation has nothing to do with strings; strings representation only appears in formatting and parsing methods.

Solution 3

This is a simple code that handles your problem

C#

DateTime d1 = new DateTime(1999, 5, 4, 12, 45, 33, 50);
DateTime d2 = new DateTime(1999, 5, 4, 12, 48, 38, 50);

TimeSpan ts = d2 - d1;

MessageBox.Show(ts.ToString("mm\\:ss"));
