            string aaa = d.ToString("hh:mm");

Solution 2

use this string to convert 24 hour format to 12 hour format:

string 12hrFormat = DateTime.Today.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy") + " " + DateTime.Today.ToString("hh:mm tt");

Solution 3

Something like

C#

string [] s ={"10AM", "5PM"};
DateTime [] h = {DateTime.Parse(s[0]), DateTime.Parse(s[1])};

if (h[0] > h[1])
  Console.WriteLine("{0} is later than {1}", s[0], s[1]);
else
  Console.WriteLine("{0} is earlier than {1}", s[0], s[1]);

?
