Storing current time without milliseconds component

Storing current time without milliseconds component

I have a timespan object that needs to hold only time, without date. I would use

DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay  

but the problem is it gives time in the format

15:51:51.7368329  

I don't want the milliseconds component. How can I trim it out?

Answer by Mohib Sheth for Storing current time without milliseconds component

You can either use DateTime.Now.Hour/Minute/Second properties or you could use DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss").

1. When displaying to user you can specify needed format. Here is a good tutorial:

1. You can create new DateTime object passing to constructor only hour, minute, second (it's for saving.)

If the problem is displaying it, you can do this:

DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss")  

Answer by Anders Abel for Storing current time without milliseconds component

Simply subtract away the millisecond part:

DateTime myTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;  myTime = myTime.AddMilliseconds(-myTime.Millisecond);  

It could be done in less code, without first assigning to myTime:

DateTime myTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.AddMilliseconds(    -DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Millisecond);  

Although somewhat elegant, it is a bad idea. When accessing TimeOfDay twice, there is a chance that it at some point will have passed another millisecond before the second access. In that case the result would not be zero milliseconds.

I believe this is what you may be after:

TimeSpan timeNow = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;  TimeSpan trimmedTimeNow = new TimeSpan(timeNow.Hours, timeNow.Minutes, timeNow.Seconds);  

Answer by Sujeet for Storing current time without milliseconds component

You can use this function to check what format suits you:

DateTime.Now.GetDateTimeFormats();  

This will give you all the Formats like:

• "14/05/2011"
• "14/05/11"
• "14.05.11"
• "14-05-11"
• "2011-05-14"
• etc.

You can do this-

DateTime.Parse(                  DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss"),                  System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture                );  

Worked for me :).
