How to Convert string “07:35” (HH:MM) to TimeSpan

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to convert a 24 Hour time formatted string to a TimeSpan.

Right now I have a \"old fashion style\":

string str         


        

Answer 1

You can convert the time using the following code.

TimeSpan _time = TimeSpan.Parse("07:35");

But if you want to get the current time of the day you can use the following code:

TimeSpan _CurrentTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;

The result will be:

03:54:35.7763461

With a object cantain the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Ticks and etc.
