Thank you for your help. I didn't know you can use TimeSpan type with assigning only hours, minutes, seconds. Examples of TimeSpan I saw always set it to a difference between two datetime values. But your example definetely works. I will have to decide whether to use TimeSpan or DateTime, as Perry suggested. My guess is that TimeSpan should be faster as it stores only the hours whereas DateTime has a longer value.
