Getting midnight out of a calendar control
-
Hi, I need to get a date out of a calendar control (set the CustomFormat to MM/dd/yy hh:mm tt), but when I call Convert.ToDateTime(dtpOrdStart.Value).ToString() I get the date and a random timestamp. Is there any way I can force it to 12:00:00 AM without having to go into the string and replace it myself? thanx

Set the time portion of the DateTime ?

Sadly, it appears there is no way to directly do this. You can store the
DateTime'sYear,Month, andDayfields in temporary variables and construct a new DateTime object with these. Warning: I'm not sure, but usingdt.AddHours(dt.Hours * (-1))etc may cause problems with DST. The above method is, I think, the safest.Cheers, Vikram.

Actually, you can't. The
Hourproperty and others are read-only.Cheers, Vikram.

calendarControl.SelectedDate.Datethe .Date property of a DateTime is midnight on that date.Excellent, 5'd. Now how did I overlook that?
