AM/PM to TimeSpan

Question

I want to achieve the converse of this, that is, I want to convert a string with format hh:mm tt to a TimeSpan with zeroed seconds.

You can convert meridiem time to timespan and also timespan to meridiem time with date and only time using below code snipet...

        TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Parse("8:00 PM").TimeOfDay;                        
        DateTime dateWithTimeSlot = DateTime.Today+ ts;              

        //for getting MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt format
        string dateWithMeridiemTimeSlot =  
            dateWithTimeSlot.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt: ", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

        Console.WriteLine("For getting MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt format: "+dateWithMeridiemTimeSlot);

        //for getting only hh:mm tt format
        string meridiemTimeSlot =
            dateWithTimeSlot.ToString("hh:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

        Console.WriteLine("For getting only hh:mm tt format: " + meridiemTimeSlot);

        Console.ReadLine();

Let's enjoy!

Thanks
