How To Display Time in hh:mm tt using DataGridView

Question

_{Friday, June 21, 2019 5:34 PM}

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get the time formatted in hh:mm tt format. For example 02:30 PM. I have a database called SubJobs, a datagridvew called datagridvew1 and a column in SubJobs called Time which is a Time(7) datatype.

This is the query I tried:

string query2 = "select chName, MassType, Date, Time, Stipend from SubList where chID= '" + Person.churchID.ToString() + "'; ";

This is the code I tried to format the column in DataGridView:

dataGridView1.Columns[3].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "hh:mm tt";

When I execute the code I get the following message:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Steven

Hello,

Here is a mock up w/o a database. If the column coming from the database table is not a date time then that would be the issue.

var dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() {ColumnName = "SomeDate", DataType = typeof(DateTime)});
dt.Rows.Add(DateTime.Now);
dt.Rows.Add();
dt.Rows.Add(DateTime.Now.AddDays(1));

dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
dataGridView1.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "hh:mm tt";
