AutoFormatTime : function()

{

…
if (this._AutoCompleteValue != "" )

{

Mcur = this._AutoCompleteValue.substring(3,2); <---

// replace to this._AutoCompleteValue.substring(3,5)

}

…
if (this._maskvalid == "99" + this.get_CultureTimePlaceholder()…

{

if (this._AutoCompleteValue != "" )

{

Scur = this._AutoCompleteValue.substring(5); <-----

// replace to this._AutoCompleteValue.substring(6);

}

Try this way:

txtEditStartTime.Text = String.Format("{0:t}", act.ActionStartDate.Value.ToShortTimeString());

I see that your mask is a four digit mask (99:99), so it would be wise to custom format your time, and assign it to your textbox. 'tt' should show AM/PM.
txtEditStartTime.Text = String.Format("{0:hh:mm tt}",act.ActionStartDate.Value);

And also, you need to set "AcceptAMPM" property to "true" in the markup. And remove the "UserTimeFormat="TwentyFourHour" property.

<ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender ID="MaskedEditExtender10" runat="server" TargetControlID="txtEditStartTime"
Mask="99:99" MessageValidatorTip="true" OnFocusCssClass="MaskedEditFocus"
OnInvalidCssClass="MaskedEditError" MaskType="Time" DisplayMoney="Left" AcceptNegative="Left" AcceptAMPM="true" ErrorTooltipEnabled="True" />

Hope that helps.
