convert datetime to time

Question

I have an object "2/17/2011 6:46:01 PM".I want to convert this object to 6:46 PM

Answer 1

string myDateString = "2/17/2011 6:46:01 PM";
DateTime datetime = DateTime.Parse(myDateString);
string timeString = datetime.ToShortTimeString();

Console.WriteLine(timeString); // 6:46 PM

You can format the parsed datetime to a string in many other ways, but the ToShortTimeString does exactly what you want.

Answer 2

You can format the object as

strdate = convert.todatetime(object);
strdate .tostring("hh:mm tt");

or

strdate.toshorttime();
