How to get only time from date-time C# [closed]
(14 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
How do I only store the time part in date time object? I am doing this:
DateTime.TryParseExact(DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss"), "HH:mm:ss",
new CultureInfo("en-US"),
DateTimeStyles.None, out outTime);
Datetime LogTime = outTime;
But it still add date to it. I only want like "13:01:03" instead of "2019-10-31 13:01:03.000".
Time without a date is usually meaningless.
However, if you must store only the time, then TimeSpan would be appropriate. It offers some advantage over UInt64 by way of convenient methods of transforming milliseconds into other time units.
This will end up holding the milliseconds since "the beginning", where "the beginning" will have to be defined by you.

Converting time to Military

I see a ton of questions about this but they all convert to a string, which is not what I am trying to do. I need it to still be a date time object after changing it to a 24 hour format without the AM/PM. An example of a date that I want to convert is - 9/6/2017 1:00:00 PM and I want it to look like 09-06-2017 13:00:00. I have searched for this for far too long, I would think it would be easier than this.
EDIT:
I think I asked this incorrectly, how do i convert a string like - "09-06-2017 13:00:00" into a date that looks exactly the same.
As far as I can tell this is not the same as what I have seen asked in the past, or I could not find it.
// InvariantCulture may not be needed depending on your machine default region/language settings
DateTime.Now.ToString("M/d/yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

How to exclude seconds from DateTime.ToString()
(7 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have date time object and it is stored in created datetime. I want to remove the seconds from the datetime object.
My date time object is returning value like this
4/6/2016 5:32:00 PM
I want to remove the seconds from this and i want the output like below,
4/6/2016 5:32 PM
can anyone tell how to do this?
To get the wanted output, try yourDateTimeObject.ToString("g");
Here is some information DateTime.ToString(..), which i will recommend for your needs.
Edit:
If you want it to be culture-independent, and always show the same use:
yourDateTimeObject.ToString("d/M/yyyy h:mm tt");

Display only date and no time

I`m new to asp.Net mvc5. I have a problem with DateTime formatting. I need to remove time from Date.
20/01/2015 12:00:00
Needs to be like this :
20/01/2015
I Tried this :
var dateOnly = date1.Date;
But it still get the time with date.
You'll always have some time in a DateTimeobject. But you can format the string output to have what you need. There is a difference between the inner data hold be the C# object (ie with time, even if 00:00) and the way you print it on screen.
Try:
var dateAsString = date1.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
Everything is in the MSDN Documentation.
If you want to format the date in a string, you can specify a custom format which excludes the time:
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
string dateString = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
By default, .NET will include the time too when converting a DateTime object to a string.

I have the following format in my sql row (DateTime datatype):
00:04:01.
I load it into my program and insert it into a DateTime object. Let's call this object "date".
How can I convert "date" into a long value?
Use DateTime.Ticks property to get long value which represents date and time of your DateTime object.
You can use DateTime.Ticks Property
Gets the number of ticks that represent the date and time of this

Difference between System.DateTime.Now and System.DateTime.Today
(8 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
These give me different dates
DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString(#"yyyy-MM-dd");
DateTime.Today.ToUniversalTime().ToString(#"yyyy-MM-dd");
Why? I'm assuming it has something to do with the "time portion" of the datetime, perhaps set to 0-0-0.
The DateTime.Today property actually returns DateTime.Now.Date: And it's time segment is looks like 00:00.00000. And the DateTime.Now time segment is looks like 10:09.00000. So when you are converting to the ToUniversalTime it will depends on the current time.
public static DateTime Today {
get {
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
return now.Date;
}
}
Because of ToUniversalTime().
From MSDN
The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is equal to the local time minus the UTC offset. For more information about the UTC offset, see TimeZone.GetUtcOffset. The conversion also takes into account the daylight saving time rule that applies to the time represented by the current DateTime object.
