get only hour from datetime
c#, datetime
Solution
I think you're just looking for `DateTime.Hour`:
int hour = item.StartTime.Hour;
... but it has a value of 10, not 24. (`item.StartTime.Minute` would give you 24.)
As a rule of thumb, avoid string conversions unless they're an inherent part of what you're trying to accomplish.
Problem
how to extract only hour from date and time and convert it to integer so that I can compare to integer?? e.g. datetime = 2013-02-01 10:24:36.000 i.e in the date and time data type then hour = take hour only i.e. 10 then hour for comparision = Convert.ToInt32(time); I have try this to item.StartTime which is date and time: ``` var time = String.Format("{HH}", (DateTime)item.StartTime); var hour = Convert.ToInt32(time); ``` Error: ``` Input string was not in a correct format. ```
