Why does TimeSpan.ParseExact not work

Question

This is a bit wierd. Parsing a text field with a valid timespan fails if I try to be precise!

const string tmp = \"17:23:24\";
//works
var t1 = TimeSpan.Pars         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

var t2 = TimeSpan.ParseExact(tmp, "c", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
