You have many options for this:

DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("6/22/2009 07:00:00 AM"); dt.ToString("HH:mm"); // 07:00 // 24 hour clock // hour is always 2 digits dt.ToString("hh:mm tt"); // 07:00 AM // 12 hour clock // hour is always 2 digits dt.ToString("H:mm"); // 7:00 // 24 hour clock dt.ToString("h:mm tt"); // 7:00 AM // 12 hour clock

From a DateTime, you can use .TimeOfDay - but that gives you a TimeSpan representing the time into the day (10 hours).

There is only DateTime type in C# and it consist of both the date and time portion. If you don't care about the Date portion of DateTime, set it to default value like this:

DateTime myTime = default(DateTime).Add(myDateTime.TimeOfDay)

This way you can be consistent across all versions of .NET, even if Microsoft decides to change the base date to something else than 1/1/0001.

You might want to look into the DateTime.ToShortTimeString() method.

Also, there many other methods and properties on the DateTime object that can help you in formating the date or time in any way you like. Just take a look at the documentation.

Try this:

TimeSpan TodayTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;

There are different ways to do so. You can use DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() which returns only the time in string format.

DateTime now = DateTime.Now; now.ToLongDateString(); // Wednesday, January 2, 2019 now.ToLongTimeString(); // 2:33:59 PM now.ToShortDateString(); // 1/2/2019 now.ToShortTimeString(); // 2:16 PM now.ToString(); // 1/2/2019 2:33:59 PM

You can simply write

string time = dateTimeObect.ToString("HH:mm");

You can use this

lblTime.Text = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString();

It is realtime with milliseconds value and it sets to time only.

This works for me. I discovered it when I had to work with DateTime.Date to get only the date part.

var wholeDate = DateTime.Parse("6/22/2009 10:00:00 AM"); var time = wholeDate - wholeDate.Date;

You can use ToString("T") for long time or ToString("t") for short time.

If you're looking to compare times, and not the dates, you could just have a standard comparison date, or match to the date you're using, as in...

DateTime time = DateTime.Parse("6/22/2009 10:00AM"); DateTime compare = DateTime.Parse(time.ToShortDateString() + " 2:00PM"); bool greater = (time > compare);

There may be better ways to to this, but keeps your dates matching.

if you are using gridview then you can show only the time with DataFormatString="{0:t}" example: 

 By bind the value:- <asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Registration_Time ", "{0:t}") %>'></asp:Label> By bound filed:- <asp:BoundField DataField=" Registration_Time" HeaderText="Brithday" SortExpression=" Registration Time " DataFormatString="{0:t}"/>

You need to account for DateTime Kind too.

public static DateTime GetTime(this DateTime d) { return new DateTime(d.TimeOfDay.Ticks, d.Kind); }
