I am trying to convert String into Time Span and assigning to Time Control.

Using this Code:

C#

string CurrTime =lblPlaybackTime.Content.ToString();   //e.g. lblPlaBackTime.Content="14:02:11:"
                   startTimeCtrl.Value = TimeSpan.Parse(CurrTime.Remove(2, 1).Remove(4, 1).Remove(6, 1));

But Not working.throws exception.

Solution 1

Stop removing the colon characters:

C#

TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.Parse("12:15:06");

Works fine: 12 hours, 15 minutes, and 6 seconds.

[edit]Typo: 16 seconds instead of 6 - OriginalGriff[/edit]

DateTime start_time = DateTime.Parse("1/9/2011");
DateTime spot_time = DateTime.Parse("5/9/2011");
