how to increment a variable's value which is of type time

thanks vimal.

Vimal if I want to display the time in 24 format which function shall I use because I have tried with functions like ToShortTimeString, etc but the DateTime.Now; displays time in AM/PM format but I want to have timings in 24 hours format. How to get this

thanks

Hi Sachi,

You want to increase the time only one time because the example you have given of double, it is a loop which increase the value at every loop. I believe you want to increase the time by half hour only one ime. DateTime class provide a method AddHour which can be used to increase the time by half hour. As in the examble below I am increasing the Current time value by Half an hour.

Response.Write(DateTime.Now.AddHours(.5).ToString());

Hope this help

Sachi,you have to assign it to that variable again like this.

            DateTime time = DateTime.Now;

            MessageBox.Show(time.ToShortTimeString());

            time=time.AddHours(0.5);//this will return time.we have to assign it to var

            MessageBox.Show(time.ToShortTimeString());

for your code.it will be

            DateTime time = DateTime.Now;

            textBox1.Text = time.AddHours(0.5).ToShortTimeString();

thanks suchit for your kind reply

suchit but the addhours function is not working. I have written the following code

private void Form6_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

DateTime time = DateTime.Now;

time.AddHours(0.5);

textBox1.Text = time.ToString();

 

//DateTime time1 = time;

//time.AddHours(0.5);

//textBox2.Text = time.ToString();

}

Here the textbox is displaying the current time. The thing is I want to display the time like 09:30:00 Am in first row of a datagridview followed by 10:00:00 Am in the next row and so on( I want to add half an hour for the previous time)

thanks

Hi Sachi,

Please try to use intellisense and you could find many functions there for such tasks... anyways here is a sample code which could help you:

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DateTime time = DateTime.Now;
            Console.WriteLine("Current time is : {0}", time);
           
            Console.WriteLine("Time after half hour will be:{0}", time.AddHours(0.5));
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
