Convert string to time span

I need to convert my string to time span in c#, Here is my string 52:13:27.0000000 When I am trying Timespan.parse it is giving error

The TimeSpan could not be parsed because at least one of the numeric components is out of range or contains too many digits.

Please help! Thanks

Timespan.parse is giving error because it takes can't take

 hours>23
 minutes>59
 seconds>59
 /*Parsing string format with above conditions  "hh:mm:ss:miliseconds"*/
 Timespan.parse("hh:mm:ss:miliseconds");

in this format you won't get Exception

Or Use It

string str = "52:13:27.0000000";
int hours = Convert.ToInt32(str.Substring(0,2));
int minutes = Convert.ToInt32(str.Substring(3, 2));
int seconds =  Convert.ToInt32(str.Substring(6, 2));
string miliseconds= (str.Substring(str.IndexOf('.')+1,str.Length-str.IndexOf('.')-1));
TimeSpan sp = TimeSpan.FromHours(hours);
TimeSpan interval = TimeSpan.Parse(sp .Days+ ":"+sp.Hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+"."+
miliseconds);

TimeSpan.Parse() accepts Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Miliseconds if you want to have more than 24 hours, you have to add a day.

In your specific case, it should be something like the following:

TimeSpan.Parse("2:04:13:27.0000000");

What you can do is convert the hours into days by doing:

string x = "52:13:27.000";
        TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(int.Parse(x.Split(':')[0]),    // hours
                       int.Parse(x.Split(':')[1]),    // minutes
                       int.Parse(x.Split(':')[2].Split('.')[0] )   // seconds
                       );

Desired Output:
