Convert Time with milliseconds to dateTime in c#

Question

I am trying to convert Time string to DateTime but can't.

Example: Time: 12:05:45.458 with milliseconds need to convert to time.

Any solution?

A `DateTime`, as its name suggests, contains both a date and a time. Since you only have a time, what should be used for the date? Also, what have you tried? — Damien_The_Unbeliever, Apr 25 '18 at 06:18
Are you sure you are not referring to TimeSpan? You may check it here. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24369059/how-to-convert-string-0735-hhmm-to-timespan — keysl, Apr 25 '18 at 06:19

DateTime.ParseExact should solve this

DateTime result = DateTime.ParseExact("12:05:45.458", "HH:mm:ss.fff", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

The DateTime.ParseExtract will parse the given time and convert to DateTime object with date as current date.

var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("12:05:45.458", "HH:mm:ss.fff", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.WriteLine(dateTime);

You are looking for a Timespan.Parse() here. Since you do not have any date component, it is not possible to unambiguously convert to a DateTime instance.

Simple solution:

 string time = "12:05:45.458";
    DateTime dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(time, "HH:mm:ss.fff",
                                            CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Where goes the millisecond part in that? And I think it will fail with an exception anyway. – Tanveer Badar Apr 25 '18 at 06:21
@TanveerBadar yes, forgot about seconds) – Vladyslav Hrehul Apr 25 '18 at 06:23
I'll retract my downvote, but we do basically have 3 identical answers now. – ProgrammingLlama Apr 25 '18 at 06:26
Mine still stands out as unique :P – Tanveer Badar Apr 25 '18 at 07:42
