Formatting "Short Time" in VB.NET

[Guest]

When I use: Format(datetime, "Short Time") or Format(datetime, "t") or
Format(datetime, "hh:mm") I always get an AM/PM value on the end of the time
string. How do I get a short time in military format without AM/PM? Thanks.

ReHuges,

This is only for the cultures where the PM and AM are used. This format is
called in the US Military time.

In those cultures you can use "HH:mm" in the others both hh:mm and HH:mm
will work the same.

I hope this helps?

Try these:

Dim strTime As String = Format(DateTime.Now, "HH:mm")
MessageBox.Show(strTime, "Time Example")

Dim strTime As DateTime
MessageBox.Show(strTime.Now.ToShortTimeString, "Time Example")

I hope this helps
