Solution 1

TimeSpan is relative. You cannot "convert" it to date-time.

You can do something like this:

C#

DateTime.Now.AddTicks(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0).Ticks)

Just add it to your relative date.

Solution 2

You can use a datetime object as base of calculations. For example

VB

Dim dt As DateTime = New DateTime(2012, 10, 4, 0, 0, 0)
Dim sp As TimeSpan = New TimeSpan(5000)
Dim ts As String = (dt + sp).ToShortTimeString()

Solution 3

If I got you, you should choose the (say) updateStartTime (a DateTime) and then increment it using the updateInterval value.
