How can I set TimeSpan to 12 hour mode instead of its 0-23 mode?

A TimeSpan represents a time interval (a difference between times), not a date or a time, so it makes little sense to define a 24 or 12 hour format to it...

Maybe you really want to use DateTime? In order to represent it in either format you use DateTime.ToString() with one of the formatters .

Try to use the DateTime.ToString not the TimeSpan.ToString as Cristian said or as I posted in my previous response.

As Cristian said, timespan doesn't represent time of the day, it represents a duration (which can be 1 year for example), even though DateTime type has a TimeOfDay property which is of type TimeSpan.

It is available since .NET 1.0, it´s only the documentation link I provided which is for version 4.
