Question

I have a date time span but currently a user can type in 12:00:00:00 and I get this error:

SqlDbType.Time overflow. Value ’12:00:00:00′ is out of range. Must be between 00:00:00.0000000 and 23:59:59.9999999.

So to stop them doing this I thought it would be easier if I strip all characters after the third colon. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You want 12:00:00.00 not 12.00:00:00

Note fullstop in yours.

Try

        string badtimes = "12:00:00:00";
        string goodtimes = badtimes.Substring(0, badtimes.LastIndexOf(":")); // 12:00:00
