Once you have the DateTime, use DateTime.TimeOfDay. You can also use regular expressions and do the parsing "manually".

Hi,

try this quick and dirty solution:

C#

string str1 = "3:20 PM";
DateTime time1;
if(DateTime.TryParse(str1, out time1))
{
  //It is a Valid DateTime
  DateTime time2 = new DateTime();
  time2 = time2.AddHours(9);
  time2 = time2.AddMinutes(15);
  if (time1.TimeOfDay > time2.TimeOfDay)
    MessageBox.Show("Time is later");
}
