How can I convert string to time in C#?


Hello, I am trying to convert string to time in C#, how can I do that, for example, if I have time as "04:05 pm" in string format, how do I get it as time, timespan, or DateTime format in C#?

You can simply use Convert.ToDateTime or better try to use DateTime.ParseExact by providing format which you will use to pass in the string, to convert string into time, here is the example code, with all possible methods

using System;
					
public class Program
{
	public static void Main()
	{
		var time = "04:05 pm";
		DateTime dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(time, "hh:mm tt",
                                        System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
		Console.WriteLine(dateTime);
		
		// OR
		
		string Time = "16:23:01";
        DateTime date = DateTime.Parse(Time, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);

        Console.WriteLine(date.ToString("HH:mm:ss tt"));
		
		// OR

        DateTime dateNew = Convert.ToDateTime(time);

        Console.WriteLine(dateNew.ToString("HH:mm:ss tt"));
	}
}

Output:

1/19/2022 4:05:00 PM
16:23:01 PM
16:05:00 PM

you can also try this below simple code to convert string into time in C#

string timeToConvert = "15:23:01";
var result = Convert.ToDateTime(timeToConvert);
string timeOutput= result.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
