A TimeSpan value can be represented as [-]d.hh:mm:ss.ff, where the optional minus sign indicates a negative time interval, the d component is days, hh is hours as measured on a 24-hour clock, mm is minutes, ss is seconds, and ff is fractions of a second. The value of the TimeSpan.Minutes property is the minute component, mm.

The TimeSpan.Minutes property represents whole minutes, whereas the TimeSpan.TotalMinutes property represents whole and fractional minutes.

This example demonstrates using the TimeSpan.Minutes property.

using System;
public class TimeSpanPropertiesExampleOne {
   public static void Main() {
      TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan((Int64)10e12+3456789);
      Console.WriteLine(ts.ToString());
      Console.WriteLine("Minutes: {0}", ts.Minutes );
   }
}

The output is
