Question

I need to construct a DateTime object with the date coming from a calendar and the hours/mins/am-pm coming from three drop down lists.

The DateTime is being inserted into a DB as a regular DateTime SQL Server DB type. I’ll use something like string dt = String.Format(“{0:g}”, DateTime.Now); to parse it when grabbing it from the DB.

I just need to find an elegant way to construct the DateTime object for the DB insertion.

Answer 1

Why not use the standard DateTime constructor overload detailed here (MSDN).

DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(year, month, day, hour, minute, second);

Where you grab the year, month, day from your calendar, and the hour, minute, second values from parsed drop down values.
