Adding fractional seconds to TimeofDay

[ljs235]

Is there a way to format the TimeofDay property to include fractional seconds? Currently, the format is HH:MM:SS, but I would like it to be HH:MM:SS:FF. If this is not possible, what is another way I can write the time (to the nearest 1/100th second) to an output file? Right now, I have it simply writing the time of day. Thannks!!!

you could use a format of "HH:MM:SS:fffff" - vary the number of 'f's between 1 and 7 to get the fraction of a second a 1 to 7 digit precision.

How do I declare this new format? Where does it go in my program?

You can specify the format for a date object using its ToString method:

MessageBox.Show(DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss:fffffff"))

This example will show you the current time plus fraction of a second with seven digit precision.
Dont use the TimeOfDay property because its a leftover from VB6, and those shouldnt be used.
