Answer 1

In case you want to work with also milliseconds like this format "01:02:10.055" then you may do as following;

public static double ParseTheTime(string givenTime)
{
var time = DateTime.ParseExact(givenTime, "hh:mm:ss.fff", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
return time.TimeOfDay.TotalSeconds;
}

This code will give you corresponding seconds. Note that you may increase the number of 'f's if you want to adjust precision points.
