VB 2008 convert string "08:30:00" to datetime "08:30:00"

I'm working in Visual Studio 2008.

I have a string input in the format "hh:mm:ss" which I want to convert into a dateTime i开发者_C百科n the same format.

I have used the Convert.ToDateTime() function which converts it but adds a date to it as well. Is there a way to convert it without adding the date?

scanStartString = "08:00:00"
scanStart = Convert.ToDateTime(scanStartString)

'scanStart = "16/05/2011 08:00:00"
'required "08:00:00"

Cheers, Cap

No. Try TimeSpan instead:

Dim time = TimeSpan.Parse("08:00:00")

Use TimeOfDay - it will return TimeSpan

 scanStart.TimeOfDay;

Just add the TimeOfDay method onto your convert line...

scanStart = Convert.ToDateTime(scanStartString).TimeOfDay

This worked for me:

Dim TimeOfDay As String = String.Format("{0:HH:mm:ss}", DateTime.Now)
TimeApp.LabelTime.Text = TimeOfDay

Simplest way to do this

Dim mydatetime As DateTime
mydatetime = Convert.ToDateTime(TextBox1.Text)
MsgBox(Format(mydatetime, "HH:mm:ss"))
