Better time parser

[jbatte47]

Currently, TimeSpan.Parse freaks out if you don't use fractional values (1.3:00:00 is valid, but 27:00:00 is not). This is not intuitive and can lead to disappointing results if you don't remember the "rules". We need something better!

ITimeParser parser = GetParser(); //likely provided via DI
TimeSpan span = parser.Parse("27:00:00");
Console.WriteLine(span); // 1.03:00:00

I am not sure how much correct i am on above solution. Correct me if i am wrong on this solution. I try this in LINQPad.

void Main()
{
    String timeStamp = "27:00:00";
    ITimeParser parser = GetParser();
    TimeSpan span = parser.Parse(timeStamp);
    Console.WriteLine(span);
}

    Parser GetParser(){
        return new Parser();
    }   

public class Parser : ITimeParser
{
    public TimeSpan Parse(string timeStamp)
    {
        var segments = timeStamp.Split(':');
        TimeSpan time = new TimeSpan(0, Convert.ToInt32(segments[0]), Convert.ToInt32(segments[1]), Convert.ToInt32(segments[2]));
        return time;
    }
}

public interface ITimeParser
{
    TimeSpan Parse(string timeStamp);
}
