Question

I have string such as following :

“+10:30” , “+04:50” , “-10:20”

which are in timezone format. How could i convert it to TimeSpan and vice versa ?

---

I have already tried to use TimeSpan.Pars(..) but no luck, keep getting exceptions.

Answer 1

Use this:

TimeSpan.Parse(yourTimeZoneString.TrimStart('+'));

It’s the ‘+’ that TimeSpan.Parse() doesn’t understand. If you just trim the leading ‘+’ from the string, it will work fine.
