You can always convert to string to a timespan (or datetime) something like this:

        TimeSpan ts = Convert.ToDateTime("02:00 PM").TimeOfDay;
        TimeSpan checkValue1 = Convert.ToDateTime("01:00 PM").TimeOfDay;
        TimeSpan checkValue2 = Convert.ToDateTime("03:00 PM").TimeOfDay;
        bool passed = (ts >= checkValue1 && ts <= checkValue2);
