What is the .Net type equivalent to Time in Paradox Database

Question

I'm accessing Paradox file by binary reading.

But I have a question. I don't know what conversion should I to do from Time in Paradox Database:

• TimeSpan
• DateTime
• Or I should to convert to string

Answer 1

The DateTime will always has the date part.

The TimeSpan is most likely what you need. It can keep the hours, minutes... without date.

EDIT: reaction to incorrect comment

Suggested mapping of the Time to DateTime is simply incorrect abstraction. Theny your C# property contains a date 01/01/0001 which is wrong (not intended) and also most be handled all the time you access such a property.

While TimeSpan, can show exactly what we want: the time ellpased from the middnight. So if we do map time from DB type, this will provide us with out of the box functionality: can be loaded as time, can be stored as a time.
