How do I get the AM/PM value from a DateTime?

Question

The code in question is below:

public static string ChangePersianDate(DateTime dateTime)
{
    System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar PC = new System.Globa         


        

Answer 1

You can test it in this way

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("tt "));

The output will be like this:

AM

or

PM

Answer 2

If you want to add time to LongDateString Date, you can format it this way:

    DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
    string formattedDate = date.ToLongDateString(); 
    string formattedTime = date.ToShortTimeString();
    Label1.Text = "New Formatted Date: " + formattedDate + " " + formattedTime;

Output:

New Formatted Date: Monday, January 1, 1900 8:53 PM 

Answer 3

Something like bool isPM = GetHour() > 11. But if you want to format a date to a string, you shouldn't need to do this yourself. Use the date formatting functions for that.

Answer 4

its pretty simple

  Date someDate = new DateTime();
  string timeOfDay = someDate.ToString("hh:mm tt"); 
  // hh - shows hour and mm - shows minute - tt - shows AM or PM

Answer 5

How about:

dateTime.ToString("tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Answer 6

string AM_PM = string.Format("{0:hh:mm:ss tt}", DateTime.Now).Split(new char[]{' '})[1];
