Problem about getting the time format

[Ray]

Dear all,
Now, I can get the time using the code "DateTime.Now.ToString("hhmm")".
If the time is 18:00, the result I get will be "0600". How can I get the
result "1800"? Please help.
Thanks,
Ray

DateTime.Now.ToString("HHmm")

Ray,

Probably by telling that you want minutes instead of months

mm is two character month
MM is two charachter minutes



I hope this helps?

Cor,

Isn't that the wrong way round?

According to MSDN help
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...globalizationdatetimeformatinfoclasstopic.asp

MM The numeric month. Single-digit months will have a leading zero.
mm The minute. Single-digit minutes will have a leading zero.

Chris,

Sorry Sorry Sorry, wrong answer oh terrible

(You need probably what is called in the US military date and that needs an
apendix)

And as well Universal (Zulu) time, what is showed with a z.

I hope I correct that with this?
