Try  var ts   TimeSpan Parse stringTime     With a newer  NET  you also have   TimeSpan ts   if  TimeSpan TryParse stringTime  out ts            throw exception or whatnot      ts now has a valid format   This is the general idiom for parsing strings in  NET with the first version handling erroneous string by throwing FormatException and the latter letting the Boolean TryParse give you the information directly

While correct that this will work   TimeSpan time   TimeSpan Parse  07 35      And if you are using it for validation     TimeSpan time  if   TimeSpan TryParse  07 35   out time            handle validation error     Consider that TimeSpan is primarily intended to work with elapsed time  rather than time-of-day   It will accept values larger than 24 hours  and will accept negative values also     If you need to validate that the input string is a valid time-of-day     00 00 and  lt  24 00   then you should consider this instead   DateTime dt  if   DateTime TryParseExact  07 35    HH mm   CultureInfo InvariantCulture                                                 DateTimeStyles None  out dt            handle validation error   TimeSpan time   dt TimeOfDay    As an added benefit  this will also parse 12-hour formatted times when an AM or PM is included  as long as you provide the appropriate format string  such as  h mm tt
