I have a dropdownlist that displays time. For example 8:00AM or 8:30AM.

When I save this time to database, I want to save as todays date + time. eg: 8:00AM as 03/30/2009 8:00:00:000. Can anybody give appropriate code to convert as shown above?

I tried 

Convert.ToDateTime(ddlStartTime.SelectedItem.Text)

But there is an error stating ‘String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.’

  1. VB.NET answer for Portmans Solution. Too many chars for comment so included here. 

    Dim time As String() = Me.DropDownList1.SelectedValue.Split(New Char() {':', ' '}) Dim hours As Integer = Integer.Parse(time(0)) Dim minutes As Integer = Integer.Parse(time(1)) Dim ampm As Integer = 12 If time(2).ToLower() = 'am' Then   ampm = 0 End If Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(hours + ampm).AddMinutes(minutes)
