Try like this

C#

TimeSpan ts = d.Subtract(Convert.ToDateTime(timePicker.Value.ToShortTimeString()));

where timePicker.Value.ToShortTimeString() gives the time picked by the user ( Format will be (HH:MM AM/PM)

What is not working? This is the correct way of getting time span, only using the operator '-' (subtraction) defined for DateTime would be much better, because it makes the operation and sign of the result more obvious.

If you need time span, this is what you should do. If you want to get something else, do something else. :-)

You have to subscribe to the valuechanged event to do what you like

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var timePicker = new DateTimePicker();
            timePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Time;
            timePicker.ShowUpDown = true;
            timePicker.Location = new Point(10, 10);
            timePicker.Width = 100;
            timePicker.ValueChanged += timePicker_ValueChanged;
            Controls.Add(timePicker);
        }

        void timePicker_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var picker = (DateTimePicker) sender;
            if (picker == null) return;

            DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
            var ts = d.Subtract(picker.Value);
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("We get a total of {0} seconds", (int) ts.TotalSeconds);
         }

Solution 2

you can use

C#

TimeSpan ts =timePicker.Value.TimeOfDay

DateTimePicker.Value Property[^] gives you a DateTime value. to get the time of day you can use DateTime.TimeOfDay Property[^], no need to any casting :-)
