I promise this is the last question :)

When I set the time to 24/midnight (e.g. tsMidnight = new TimeSpan(24, 00, 00);) and look at the value of tsMidnight in the debugger is looks like 1.00.00.00
But when I set the time to any other value it looks more "normal". For example:
ts11pm = new TimeSpan(23,59,0)
the value of ts11pm will look like "23:59:00"
