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

From: http://www.csharp-examples.net/string-format-datetime/

string.Format("{0:t tt}", datetime);  // -> "P PM"  or "A AM"

Answer 2

Here is an easier way you can write the time format (hh:mm:ss tt) and display them separately if you wish.

string time = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString("00") + ":" + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString("00") + ":" + DateTime.Now.Second.ToString("00") + DateTime.Now.ToString(" tt");

or just simply:

 DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt")
