// Parsing a TimeSpan from a string
TimeSpan timeSpan2 = TimeSpan.Parse("5.12:45:30.500"); // 5 days, 12 hours, 45 minutes, 30.5 seconds

Accessing TimeSpan Components in C#:

int days = timeSpan1.Days; // 3
int hours = timeSpan1.Hours; // 2
int minutes = timeSpan1.Minutes; // 30
int seconds = timeSpan1.Seconds; // 15
int milliseconds = timeSpan1.Milliseconds; // 0
