Answer 4

With TimeSpan

TimeSpan a = new TimeSpan(2, 0, 0);
TimeSpan b = new TimeSpan(3, 0, 0);
TimeSpan c = a + b;

Answer 5

I would start by looking at the DateTime and TimeSpan structures. Using these types you can pretty easily perform most Date/Time operations.

Specifically look at these methods:

• TryParse: Get extract Date/Time information from a string
• TimeSpan.Add
• DateTime.Add

A simple example would be:

public TimeSpan? AddTime(string time1, string time2)
{
    TimeSpan ts1;
    TimeSpan ts2;

    if (TimeSpan.TryParse(time1, out ts1) &&
        TimeSpan.TryParse(time2, out ts2))
    {
        return ts1.Add(ts2);
    }

    return null;
}
