Save yourself a lot of trouble, and use a couple of drop-down list boxes for
this. You're expecting too much from your (l)users.

I did like this
On Page Load function
Regex r = new
Regex(@"?<Time> ^(?:0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d:[0-5])\d(?:[ap]m)?",RegexOpti o
ns.IgnoreCase);

but aI'm getting this when paging executing ,

parsing "?<Time>^(? :0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d:[0-5])\d(?:[ap]m)?" -
Quantifier {x,y} following nothing. Parameter name:
?<Time>^(?:0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d:[0-5])\d(?:[ap]m)?

you need the brackets at the ends of the string..

Regex r = new
Regex(@"(?<Time >^(?:0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d:[0-5])\d(?:[ap]m)?)",RegexOpti ons.IgnoreCase) ;

Sometimes users don't want to use listboxes.. I had to write somehting like
this to let em type dates and times in manually on a timesheet entry form..
they didn't like going from the kbd to the mouse to the kbd etc.
