DataFormatStrin g Military Time

[Phillip Vong]

Simple question from a newbie. Using VWD in VB.NET for ASP.NET.

I want to format a time value to show in military time only and without the
seconds. I know it's not {0:t} or {0:T} but I can not figure out what it is.
If it's 3:25 PM, I want it to show 15:25 only and without the seconds. This
is what I found, but it did not provide me with the Military formating.

Thanks!

Hi,
You can try following two options:
[1]{"H:mm"}
Use uppercase H to display times based on the 24-hour clock (military
clock). Uppercase H displays single-digit hours as single-digit numbers,
without a leading zero.

[2]{"HH:mm"}
Use uppercase HH to display times based on the 24-hour clock (military
clock). Uppercase HH displays single-digit hours with a leading zero.

Thanks and Regards,

Manish,
Thanks!!!!
In VWD, {H:mm} didn't work. I changed it to {0:H:mm} and it worked just
fine!

Thanks alot!!!

Just in case you're intending to use this in databound controls (GridView
etc) using the DataFormatStrin g tag, you will also need to set the
HtmlEncode tag to false or it won't work...

Mark, I did exactly that.

Can someone help me format this so it's in H:mm format? I'm using this with
a button On_Click and I'm not sure what the formatting command is.
Thanks!

Dim CurTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now

TextBox1.Text = CurTime

Can someone help me format this so it's in H:mm format?

Dim CurTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now.To String("H:mm")

TextBox1.Text = CurTime

[Phillip Vong]

When I try that, I get non military time like 3:31:00 PM.

Dim CurTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now.To String("H:mm")

TextBox1.Text = CurTime

Hmm - OK, that's a little strange. That's definitely the correct way to do
it, though:
