U have to store the time,date,year in seperate variable.Then u can take time alone. DateTime dtDOB = Convert.ToDateTime(drFieldRetrieve["dateof_birth"]); string strDay = dtDOB.Date.Day.ToString(); string strMonth = dtDOB.Month.ToString(); string strYear = dtDOB.tYear.ToString(); string strTime = dtDOB.TimeOfDay .ToString(); Hope that u r expecting like this.

Hi Pathan, Try this. DateTime.Today.ToString("t"); This will return just the time in AM/PM format. Regards, Blumen

for reference you may try this as well: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1.aspx

The "t" format applies to dates, not strings. String.Format("{0:t}",new DateTime(2007, 11, 19, 10, 0, 0));

--- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

You need to turn the string to a DateTime value as below: DateTime timetoparse = Convert.ToDateTime("11/19/2007 10:00 AM"); this.textBox1.Text = string.Format("{0:t}", timetoparse); Output = 10:00 AM
