Problem about get time

[Ray]

Dear all,
I have some problems about getting the time. For example, it is 18:30
now. How can I get the string "1830"?
I have tried as follow:
String.Concat((Date.Now.ToString("t")).Substring(0 , 2),
(Date.Now.ToString("t")).Substring(2, 2))
However, the result is "6:30"
Please help.
Thanks a lot,
Ray

Is the date going to be 5 chars long (18:30), or 4 chars
long (6:30)?

Because that will certainly effect the result of
..Substring(2, 2)

Dear Herfried,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried your code. However, the result is
"0630". If I want to get "1830", how can I get that?
Thanks,
Ray
