16 23 01  doesn t match the pattern of  hh mm ss tt  - it doesn t have an am pm designator  and 16 clearly isn t in a 12-hour clock  You re specifying that format in the parsing part  so you need to match the format of the existing data  You want   DateTime dateTime   DateTime ParseExact time   HH mm ss                                           CultureInfo InvariantCulture      Note the invariant culture  not the current culture - assuming your input genuinely always uses colons    If you want to format it to hh mm ss tt  then you need to put that part in the ToString call   lblClock Text   date ToString  hh mm ss tt   CultureInfo CurrentCulture     Or better yet  IMO  use  whatever the long time pattern is for the culture    lblClock Text   date ToString  T   CultureInfo CurrentCulture     Also note that hh is unusual  typically you don t want to 0-left-pad the number for numbers less than 10    Also consider using my Noda Time API  which has a LocalTime type - a more appropriate match for just a  time of day

This gives you the needed results   string time    16 23 01   var result   Convert ToDateTime time   string test   result ToString  hh mm ss tt   CultureInfo CurrentCulture     This gives you  04 23 01 PM   string   You could also use CultureInfo CreateSpecificCulture  en-US   as not all cultures will display AM PM
