Formatting "Short Time" in VB.NET

When I use: Format(datetime , "Short Time") or Format(datetime , "t") or
Format(datetime , "hh:mm") I always get an AM/PM value on the end of the time
string. How do I get a short time in military format without AM/PM? Thanks.

ReHuges,

This is only for the cultures where the PM and AM are used. This format is
called in the US Military time.

In those cultures you can use "HH:mm" in the others both hh:mm and HH:mm
will work the same.

I hope this helps?

Try these:

Dim strTime As String = Format(DateTime .Now, "HH:mm")
MessageBox.Show (strTime, "Time Example")

Dim strTime As DateTime
MessageBox.Show (strTime.Now.To ShortTimeString , "Time Example")

I hope this helps

Hello, I'm writing a small program that needs to check Unix timestamps for falling into an interval (typical usage: ./program 2005-03, you get the idea). Now, I create two time stamps from the user's input to create the interval's borders using mktime(). Trying to check the sanity of my program, I also converted the values back to tuples using localtime(). Unfortunately, I get back one of them with the DST flag set, and the other with...

Hi there, I'm pretty new to Python and am trying to figure out how to get "will this code compile?"-like code checking. To me this is a pretty basic language/environment requirement, especially when working with large projects. It is *much* better to catch errors at "compile-time" rather than at run-time. One thing I've "found" is the PyChecker module (conveniently embedded in SPE), but it doesn't seem to do that great of a job. ...

hi, my multithread application, running under solaris box, is crashing eventually. I tried to spot and substitute functions not "thread safe", but I guess my search wasn't good enough. I have put localtime_r and asctime_r where I was using localtime and asctime. But I didn't find any correspondent _r function to "time".Also, I found that "readdir" is not thread safe. But what about "scandir"? Thanks for any help

Hi, I have two columns defined as DateTime type in the Visual Designer, i.e., Dataset.xsd. In the grid to which the columns are bound, they're both displayed as date, for instance, 5/23/2007. It seems that they're using the default "short date" format. I want to use the "long date" format to display the actual hour/minute/
