string times = "06:45 AM";

To DateTime for Sql-Server ( YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss )

How do I convert input form textbox to database?

Answer 1

var date = DateTime.Parse("06:45 AM");
Console.WriteLine(date);

Answer 2

Sql Server's datetime type always have date and time part.

If you wanna insert this hour part with Today 's date, you can directly parse this string to Datetime and you can insert this DateTime to your database. Like;

string times = "06:45 AM";
DateTime dt;
if(DateTime.TryParseExact(times, "HH:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
                          DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
{
    //dt will be 15/01/2015 06:45:00 and insert this DateTime directly
}

Answer 3

尝试这个。

   TimeSpan theTime = DateTime.Parse("06:45 AM").TimeOfDay;
