c# - Parse string to TimeSpan

Question

I have some strings of xxh:yym format where xx is hours and yy is minutes like "05h:30m". What is an elegant way to convert a string of this type to TimeSpan?

Answer 1

This seems to work, though it is a bit hackish:

TimeSpan span;


if (TimeSpan.TryParse("05h:30m".Replace("m","").Replace("h",""), out span))
            MessageBox.Show(span.ToString());
