Example

The following example illustrates how to use TimeSpan.Parse(String) method.


using System.Threading;
using System;/* ww w.  j  ava 2  s .  co  m*/
using System.Globalization;


public class MainClass
{
    public static void Main(String[] argv){  
        
    string[] values = { "000000006", "12.12:12:12.12345678" };
    foreach (string value in values)
    {
       try {
          TimeSpan interval = TimeSpan.Parse(value);
          Console.WriteLine("{0} --> {1}", value, interval);
       }   
       catch (FormatException) {
          Console.WriteLine("{0}: Bad Format", value);
       }   
       catch (OverflowException) {
          Console.WriteLine("{0}: Overflow", value);
       }
    }
     values = new string[] { "6", "6:12", "6:12:14", "6:12:14:45", 
                          "6.12:14:45", "6:12:14:45.3448", 
                          "6:12:14:45,3448", "6:34:14:45" };
      string[] cultureNames = { "hr-HR", "en-US"};

      // Change the current culture. 
      foreach (string cultureName in cultureNames)
      {
         Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(cultureName);
         Console.WriteLine("Current Culture: {0}", 
                           Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name);
         foreach (string value in values)
         {
            try {
               TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.Parse(value);
               Console.WriteLine("{0} --> {1}", value, ts.ToString("c"));
            }
            catch (FormatException) {
               Console.WriteLine("{0}: Bad Format", value);
            }   
            catch (OverflowException) {
               Console.WriteLine("{0}: Overflow", value);
            }
         } 
         Console.WriteLine();                                
      }
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
