How to get time from timestamp/ DateTime?

I have a DateTime property, how can i get only the Timepart?

eg-

[Code]

DateTime DepartureTime {get; set;}

If time is 04/02/2014 5:30:00 PM, I only want the time(5:30 PM) part in DateTime. I don't want it in String as the return type I want is DateTime.

You can display the time portion as a string without losing the data type of DateTime by calling ToShortTimeString() when you want to display it.

It depends on what you want to do with the time. If you need to do more than display it, the first answer is probably more relevant but there are options depending on your needs.

The property TimeOfDay of a DateTime, like

DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay

will return the time part of the DateTime. You must be aware that this property returns a TimeSpan struct and not a DateTime. The returned value will count the time of the day since midnight of the same day.

If you want to transform the TimeSpan back into a DateTime, there is a constructor that you can use:

var date = DateTime.Now;
var timeAsDateTime = new DateTime(1, 1, 1, date.TimeOfDay.Hours, date.TimeOfDay.Minutes, date.TimeOfDay.Seconds);
