Question

Scenario:

Third party web service returns datetime in two separate fields i.e. date and time. I need a way to concatenate into single field.

e.g.

 startDate='24-06-2012'
 startTime='1-01-1970 1:00:00 AM'

Expected result:
 fullStartDateTime='24-06-2012 1:00:00 AM'

I tried to get the TimeSpan part from startTime and got no where. Could someone let me know if there’s a smart way to achieve above.

Answer 1

TimeOfDay is the property of DateTime that you’re looking for:

TimeSpan timeOfDay = startTime.TimeOfDay;
DateTime fullStartDateTime = startDate.Add(timeOfDay);
