DateTime time2 = new DateTime();
time1 = DateTime.Parse(ddl1.SelectedItem.Text);//ex..time1=DateTime.Parse(8:00AM);
time2 = DateTime.Parse(ddl2.SelectedItem.Text);//ex.. time2=DateTime.Parsee(10:00AM);
TimeSpan ts = time2.Subtract(time1);//ex.. ts= 10.00.Subtract(8:00) so ts=2:00
ll1.Text = Convert.ToString(ts);//ex.. ll1.Text=2:00;
//this two line i dont have idea it is right or wrong.

Solution 1

Why don't you define your time variable as a TimeSpan?

C#

TimeSpan time = TimeSpan.Zero;
// ...
time += ts;
Label2.Text = time.ToString();

would work.
And better use the ToString() method; Convert class should be avoided when possible.

Sorry, I cannot understand this, which does not make much sense.

According toMy Earlier code
ts=2:00 .again we select time from dropdown list so we get ts=1:30
now I want 2:00+1:30=3:30
but according to your code
It will print Last value Like 1:30. not calculate them.

No. The line time += ts; is equivalent to time = time + ts;.

Try with below code:

C#

DateTime time1 = new DateTime();
DateTime time2 = new DateTime();

// 1st time dropdown selection
time1 = DateTime.Parse("8:00AM");
time2 = DateTime.Parse("10:00AM");
TimeSpan ts = time2.Subtract(time1); // 02:00:00

// 2nd time dropdown selection
time1 = DateTime.Parse("8:00AM");
time2 = DateTime.Parse("9:30AM");
TimeSpan ts1 = time2.Subtract(time1); // 01:30:00

TimeSpan tsTotal = ts + ts1;

string t1 = Convert.ToString(tsTotal); // 03:30:00
Label2.Text = t1;
