Question

I’m working in a WinForm and have two Date Time Pickers: One that displays a short date and one that displays time. In my SQL DB, I have a DateTime field that I would like to populate using the two values of my DTPs put together.

This is what I have currently: (that isn’t working)

myDateTimeField = Convert.ToDateTime(dtp_date.Text + dtp_time.Text);

Any ideas how to fix that?

Answer 1

Use the DateTime Add method on the first DateTimePicker‘s Date property, passing the Timespan returned by the second DateTimePicker‘s TimeOfDay property.

DateTime myDateTimeField = dtp_date.Value.Date.Add(dtp_time.Value.TimeOfDay);
