//this is the code in the booking form

time = TimeSpan.Parse(dtpTime.Value.ToShortTimeString());

while (rdr.Read())
{
    for (int i = 0; i < rdr.FieldCount; i++)
    {
        if ((TimeSpan)rdr[6] > Booking.time)

I'm assuming rdr.Read() returns a string? If so, you will need to use Timespan.Parse or Timespan.TryParse to parse the string, you cannot just cast as there is no implicit or explicit conversion from string defined.

So what is the data type of the item?

What is rdr?
What is rdr[6]?
Have you looked using the debugger? Put a breakpoint on the "if ((TimeSpan)rdr[6] > Booking.time)" line and see what the rdr array contains.
