Question

A WSDL file from a customer specifies the time data type using this syntax:

Answer 1

I think there is no good solution, so you have to edit the auto generated code.

Create a partial class of the auto generated code and add a string property with the correct formatting in it:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form = System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, 
 DataType = "string", ElementName = "I_TIMETO")]
public string I_TIMETO_STR
{
    get
    {
        return this.i_TIMETOField.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
    }
    set
    {
        this.i_TIMETOField = DateTime.ParseExact(value, "HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    }
}

Now go to the auto generated property and add a XmlIgnore:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnore] 
public System.DateTime I_TIMETO{...
