I forgot about Timespan. It is easier following Cetins suggestion as

DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay

returns a Timespan object. If you're doing this in a loop and worried about performance, you'll have to test to see what kind of performance hit, if any, to create a Timespan object out of a Datetime.

>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.
