C# || How To Append & Join A Date & Time Value Together Using C#

May 12, 2021 admin No comments

The following is a module with functions which demonstrates how to append and join a date and time value together using C#.

1. Append Date & Time

The example below demonstrates the use of ‘Utils.Extensions.SetTime‘ to append a date and time value together.





		
		
			1. Append Date & Time
			
C#
			
			// Append Date & Time

using Utils

var dteDate = Convert.ToDateTime("1/27/1991");
var time = Convert.ToDateTime("7:28:33 PM");

Console.WriteLine($"dteDate: {dteDate}");

// Append time to the date
var result = dteDate.SetTime(time);

Console.WriteLine($"Result: {result}");

// expected output:
/*
    dteDate: 1/27/1991 12:00:00 AM
    Result: 1/27/1991 7:28:33 PM
*/

using Utils
 
var dteDate = Convert.ToDateTime("1/27/1991");
var time = Convert.ToDateTime("7:28:33 PM");
 
Console.WriteLine($"dteDate: {dteDate}");
 
// Append time to the date
var result = dteDate.SetTime(time);
 
Console.WriteLine($"Result: {result}");
 
// expected output:
/*
    dteDate: 1/27/1991 12:00:00 AM
    Result: 1/27/1991 7:28:33 PM
*/

2. Utils Namespace

The following is the Utils Namespace. Include this in your project to start using!
