Hi @Binod_Kumar_Biswal

Try the below syntax:
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Cint(in_Config("CustomDelay").ToString))

Output variable will be of the datatype System.TimeSpan

Hope it helps!!

@Binod_Kumar_Biswal

hey you added .Tostring is out of the bracket

try to pass like below

TimeSpan.FromSeconds(CInt(in_Config(“CustomDelay”).ToString))
