Question

I have this recorded in SQL Server:

1- startTime (datetime): 5/2/2009 08:30 (brazilian time format: d/m/y)

2- startTime (datetime): 4/2/2009 14:30 (brazilian time format: d/m/y)

My application just records time… the date it’s SQL that generates by itself be getting the date of today.

When I ask VS 2008 to order this datetime fields, it returns me that code #2 is before #1, because 4/2/2009 comes before 5/2/2009.

But, actually I want it to order by time only and ignore the date.

Is it possible??

Thanks!! André

Answer 1

from d in dates      orderby d.TimeOfDay      select d; 

or

dates.OrderBy(d => d.TimeOfDay);

Note: This will work as long as this is plain LINQ and not LINQ-to-SQL. If you’re using LINQ-to-SQL to query your database, you’ll need something that will translate to SQL.
