DateTime AM/PM format convert to 24h format

Question

i have a DateTime which is in AM/PM format . I want to convert it to 24h format , how can i do it? thanks.

Solution

Date and times are not internally stored with any format in mind.

When you want to display the date/time, you use a format string on the ToString method of the object. There are standard and custom format strings.

For 24 hours use:

string formatted24HourTime = myDateTime.ToString("HH:mm");

@olia - I linked to both the standard and custom documents on MSDN. I suggest looking there.
