Check if string is in time formate (01:00:00)

A typical way to do this would be to use a Regular Expression.

I assume you mean RETURN true or false rather than THROW true or false.

A very quick and dirty check on a string in a variable called "foo" would be
Regex.IsMatch(foo, "[0-2][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]", RegexOptions.None)
but this will allow some invalid values to slip by...
such as 29:00:00, for example.

More CORRECT but not as easy to understand is
Regex.IsMatch(foo, "([0-1][0-9]|2[0-4]):[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]", RegexOptions.None)
which allows ALL hours beginning with 0 or 1, but requires a singels digit of 0-4 if the hour begins with "2".

You might refine this  using the "|" alternation if you want to disallow, say 24:00:01, or if you want to ALLOW 1:00:00 or 12:1:2 (not require leading zeroes).

Yes i do mean Return... the ONLY values that i will need to check are as follows:

01:00:00
02:00:00
03:00:00
04:00:00
05:00:00
06:00:00
07:00:00
08:00:00
09:00:00
10:00:00
11:00:00
12:00:00
13:00:00
14:00:00
15:00:00
16:00:00
17:00:00
18:00:00
19:00:00
20:00:00
21:00:00
22:00:00
23:00:00
24:00:00

But if the value comes over as "thisisastringvalue", i need to catch it...

(remember to do a
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
at the top of your file, or you have to say

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(foo, "([0-1][0-9]|2[0-4]):00:00", RegexOptions.None)

instead :-)

Thanks you very much, YOU ROCK!
