DateTime.ToStri ng get specific time format

Hi,

I'm trying to enter the time in the following format:
HH:MM:SS AM/PM

e.g. 05:33:21 PM

How can i achieve this from the Date Time object?

DateTime.Now.To String("?");

I've search MSDN, and they only seem to cater for the 24 hour clock,
not the 12 hour clock

In the meanwhile, i strip the date by using DateTime.Now.Ho ur.
and then based on if it's greater than 12.

There must be a simpler built in way

TIA

I have a string variable that holds the equivalent of a DateTime value. I pulled this datetime from the database and I want to strip off the time portion before displaying to the user. I am using C# eg. - String variable "strMyDate" holds the value "1/1/2005 12:00:00 AM" from the database. - I do not care about the time portion, I only want "1/1/2005" for display.

I'd like to have a string assigned the value of a DateTime.AddMinutes(amount) so that the string is formatted in "HH:MM" format. For example: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30) returns "00:30" DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(90) returns "1:30" or "01:30"

Does anybody know of a library that can handle strings pf various formats and conver them to a DateTime value? The strings are coming from a webform and I can't restrict the input (it's not my form).

Hello, I am importing a flat text file, and putting it into a datagrid for display on a form. Currently the users have their dates and times seperated. I have two fields, therefore in the datatable feeding the datagrid control. Both are of the DateTime Type. How do I get the time field to display only the Time, and not the date, which is apparently the default.

Will DateTime.Now.ToString("s") ALWAYS return the same formatting (i.e. the sortable XML Schema style formatting) regardless of what culture the operating system is set to? I've done limited testing to show that this is the case when switching to the Italian culture, but I need to verify that in EVERY culture setting it will ALWAYS return the same format.
