Displaying TimeSpan value in datetime picker using the Value property

Question

_{Tuesday, January 11, 2011 7:32 AM}

I have a time span value of 9:00:00, now I want to display this in the datetimepicker control using its value property so when I click the spin button, the value property will update its value.

The more I study, the more I realize how little I know.

hi,

i have no idea why you want to display timespan as datetime, but please visit similar thread http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/20304b8c-1e2d-4130-86ba-6c30f5ee6175/ for more info. when you convert timespan to datetime, you can attach it into datetimepicker.value property:

DateTime dt = new DateTime(0),

dt.Add(mytimespan);

but maybe you want something like this:

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

DateTime newTime = now.Add(mytimespan);

Hi Sheen Ismhael Lim:

Welcome you to the MSDN Forum.

Based on your description, When you click the spin button, you can use the following method to change the value of your DatetimePicker:

DateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.Add(/* your TimeSpan */);

I hope it is helpful to you.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to tell us.

Best Regards

I have a 3rd party control (a week scheduler) which one of its property accepts or returns time span value. I want to display the time span value so that the user have the flexibility to adjust the value as he/she see fit.

The more I study, the more I realize how little I know.

so you can do it with datetimepicker when you set dispaly format to: HH:mm:ss +attach value as a datetime with any day but with good time (to day with time 00:00:00 add your timespan)

if not you have to write your own control

DateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.Date.Add(/* your TimeSpan */);is the Current Answer as the code belowDateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.Add(/* your TimeSpan */);

will add the Now Time to your timespan.
