Displaying time > 23:59

[kejpa]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to show times over than one day in a textbox.

I'd like a format that is capable of showing hours and minutes like 99:49 and not like 4d 03:49

 

Does I have to make this myself or is there a way of using the format function?

[NK2000]

int hours = DateTime.Now.Day*24 + DateTime.Now.Hour;

 

string time = String.Format("{0}:{1}", hours, DateTime.Now.Minute);

 

 

I hope this is the thing you wanted to know

As I feared, you'll have to code your own format and you have to do your own checking for valid times :(

 

It would have been soooo much easier to be able to use the format function, say "hhh:mm" would have resulted in hours and minutes, not limited by the length of the day, "mmm:ss" would have made the same thing giving the number of minutes and seconds not limited by the 60 minutes of an hour.

 

Thanx anyway.

Not too sure if this is what you are looking for..

but in C# this is what i do to get my datetime to be formatted in a 24-hour clock.

 

string CurrentTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
