how to convert 24-hour format TimeSpan to 12-hour format TimeSpan?

Question

I have TimeSpan data represented as 24-hour format, such as 14:00:00, I wanna convert it to 12-hour format, 2:00 PM, I googled and found something related in stackoverflow a

Answer 1

String formatted = yourDateTimeValue.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt");

Answer 2

TimeSpan represents a time interval (a difference between times), not a date or a time, so it makes little sense to define it in 24 or 12h format. I assume that you actually want a DateTime.

For example 2 PM of today:

TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.FromHours(14);
DateTime dt = DateTime.Today.Add(ts);

Then you can format that date as you want:

String formatted = String.Format("{0:d/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss}", dt); // "12.4.1012 02:00:00" - german (de-DE)
