A custom Time format string consists of one or more custom Time format specifiers, and that format string defines the text representation of a DateTime object that is produced by a formatting operation.
Custom Time format specifiers.
| h |
Represents the hour as a number from 1 through 12, that is, the hour as represented by a 12-hour clock that counts the whole hours since midnight or noon. Consequently, a particular hour after midnight is indistinguishable from the same hour after noon. The hour is not rounded, and a single-digit hour is formatted without a leading zero. For example, given a time of 5:43, this format specifier displays "5". For more information about using a single format specifier, see Using Single Custom Format Specifiers. |
| hh, hh (plus any number of additional "h" specifiers) |
Represents the hour as a number from 01 through 12, that is, the hour as represented by a 12-hour clock that counts the whole hours since midnight or noon. Consequently, a particular hour after midnight is indistinguishable from the same hour after noon. The hour is not rounded, and a single-digit hour is formatted with a leading zero. |
| H |
Represents the hour as a number from 0 through 23, that is, the hour as represented by a zero-based 24-hour clock that counts the hours since midnight. A single-digit hour is formatted without a leading zero. |
| HH, HH (plus any number of additional "H" specifiers) |
Represents the hour as a number from 00 through 23, that is, the hour as represented by a zero-based 24-hour clock that counts the hours since midnight. A single-digit hour is formatted with a leading zero. |
| m |
Represents the minute as a number from 0 through 59. The minute represents whole minutes passed since the last hour. A single-digit minute is formatted without a leading zero. |
| mm, mm (plus any number of additional "m" specifiers) |
Represents the minute as a number from 00 through 59. The minute represents whole minutes passed since the last hour. A single-digit minute is formatted with a leading zero. |
| s |
Represents the seconds as a number from 0 through 59. The second represents whole seconds passed since the last minute. A single-digit second is formatted without a leading zero. |
| ss, ss (plus any number of additional "s" specifiers) |
Represents the seconds as a number from 00 through 59. The second represents whole seconds passed since the last minute. A single-digit second is formatted with a leading zero. |
| t |
Represents the first character of the A.M./P.M. designator defined in the current System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.AMDesignator or System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.PMDesignator property. The A.M. designator is used if the hour in the time being formatted is less than 12; otherwise, the P.M. designator is used. |
| tt, tt (plus any number of additional "t" specifiers) |
Represents the A.M./P.M. designator as defined in the current System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.AMDesignator or System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.PMDesignator property. The A.M. designator is used if the hour in the time being formatted is less than 12; otherwise, the P.M. designator is used. |
Standard Time Format Specifiers
| t |
ShortTimePattern - For example, the custom format string for the invariant culture is "HH:mm". |
| T |
LongTimePattern - For example, the custom format string for the invariant culture is "HH:mm:ss". |
Using Time Format Strings
The following code fragment illustrates how to create time formatted strings. This example assumes that the current culture is English-United States (en-US).
