Elapsed time since Midnight is irrespective of time zone
@Peter,

You are mistaken.
0300 will always be 3 hours past midnight; regardless of the time zone in effect.

Misleading description
The description states that this method should return the time that has elapsed since midnight, while in fact it seems to just return the time portion of the date converted to a TimeSpan. For example due to daylight savings at 3:00 am on a particular date there may be only two hours elapsed since midnight, but this property would still return a timespan of 3:00.
