How to add current time in a datetime control if the time is not written

I have a GridView and SqlDataSource,

I have a column type: DateTime. If I type only the date in the TextBox, then the time will be 00:00:00. Is there any way of auto adding the current time if is not specified?

Thanks

When you type only the date in the TextBox you can still submit and add the current time onto the Date.

DateTime inputDate = // However you are gathering the date ;
DateTime dateWithCurrentTime = inputDate.Add(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay);

DateTime has an Add function that allows you to add a TimeSpan to get a new DateTime object.

If you add the current time of day (DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay) to the input you gathered, you will get a new DateTime object with the current time of day and the date that was input.

Without any specific code, I can only answer your question vague but this might give you an Idea.

Serverside Solution: All in Code behind:

// To get the Time of right now 
DateTime oNow = DateTime.Today;

// Get your entered Time assuming it is Entered YYYY/MM/DD
string sEnteredDate = DateTextBox.Text;

// Edit the String to get Year, Month, Day
string sEnteredYear = sEnteredDate.Substring(0, 4);
string sEnteredMonth = sEnteredDate.Substring(5, 2);
string sEnteredDay = sEnteredDate.Substring(8, 2);

// Create final DateTime
DateTime oDateForDb = oNow;

oDateForDb.Day = sEnteredDay;
oDateForDb.Month = sEnteredMonth;
oDateForDb.Year = sEnteredYear;

Now oDateForDb should have the Date you want and the current hh:mm:ss.

Furthermore this whole concept should work just fine with Calender Extender or similar to guarantee that the Input is going to be the right DateFormat f.e. YYYY/MM/DD

EDIT:

Do the same as Above only this time in jscript.
