vb.net dateandtime get hour from now

I am looking to only get the starting hour.

Example:

if its 1:26 PM i would need it to say 1:00 PM.

Likewise, if it was 1:59 PM i would need it to also say 1:00 PM.

I can not seem to find some code that does that?

What do i need to include with my code below in order to do that above?

Dim tmpTime As DateTime = Format(Now, "h:mm tt")

MsgBox(tmpTime.Subtract(Format(Now, "mm")))

Any help would be great! Thanks!

Just create a new DateTime in this way

Dim tmpTime As DateTime = new DateTime(1,1,1,DateTime.Now.Hour, 0, 0)

Or this

Dim tmpTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-DateTime.Now.Minute)
tmpTime = tmpTime.AddSeconds(-tmpTime.Second)

now to the display the time you have just a format problem

Console.WriteLine(tmpTime.ToString("h:mm tt"))
