Question

I need to create a <select> in my view an <option> for each hour (all 24 of them), localized to the current thread’s time format.

How can I do this?

The output for en-US should look like:

<select>
    <option value="0">12:00 AM</option>
    <option value="1">1:00 AM</option>
    ...
    <option value="12">12:00 PM</option>
</select>

So far I’ve got:

<% For hour As Integer = 0 To 23 %>
    <option value="<%= hour.ToString() %>"></option>
<% Next %>

Answer 1

Try this:

<% For hour As Integer = 0 To 23 %>
    <option value="<%= New DateTime().AddHours(hour).ToString("hh:mm tt", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-us")) %>"></option>
<% Next %>
