I am trying to convert this e.g. 12/31/2012 format into DateTime, however when I run this code the conversion works but the time is not current. I am looking to convert to DateTime but with the current time:
Example: When I run the below code and enter date: 12/31/2012
I get: 12/31/2012 12:00:00 AM
I am not sure how to get the current time instead of 12:00:00 AM
Console.Write("Enter Current Date: ");
string strMyDate = Console.ReadLine();
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(strMyDate);
Console.WriteLine(dt);
Console.ReadKey();
You can extract only the time from DateTime.Now
by using the TimeOfDay
property and add it to your manually entered date, e.g.
var time = dt.Add(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay);
As an additional note, I would use DateTime.TryParse instead, as the value entered by the user may not be a parseable date, e.g.
DateTime dt;
var isDate = DateTime.TryParse(strMyDate, out dt);
if(isDate)
{
var time = dt.Add(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay);
}
