Solution 1

Rule 1: never convert to string if you want to do any manipulation on dates or times.

Instead, if you use the DateTime.TimeOfDay property[^] then it returns a TimeSpan which is effectively the time since midnight. You can compare two of these directly.

It's actually quite scary how many people seem to be commercial programmers, and yet do not understand such basics of computing.
