Question

i have an application which it run specifically based on given time to that application, how do i pass the parameter through App.config,

Ex: My service should run every day 9 clock

datetime Runtime = datetime.today.Addhours(9);

the above line will help the service to specifically on that time, now i need to set my service to run by 9:30 , how do i pass the information to Runtime.

i have tried below way it was not accepted

ex 1) datetime Runtime = datetime.today.Addhours(9) + datetime.today.Addminutes(30);

ex 2) datetime Runtime = datetime.today.Addhours(9);
               Runtime = datetime.today.Addminutes(30);

Answer 1

You can use

DateTime.Today.AddHours(9).AddMinutes(30)

AddHours gives you another DateTime, so you can call the exact same methods you can call on DateTime.Today.

You can also add a TimeSpan, though:

TimeSpan t = TimeSpan.Parse("9:30");
DateTime d = DateTime.Today + t;

This would have the benefit that you don’t have to separate hours and minutes in your configuration.
