DateTime.Hour Property

Gets the hour component of the date represented by this instance.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public int Hour { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
The hour component, expressed as a value between 0 and 23.

The value of the Hour property is always expressed using a 24-hour clock. To retrieve a string that represents the hour of a date and time using a 12-hour clock, call the DateTime.ToString(String) or DateTime.ToString(String, IFormatProvider) method with the "h" custom format specifier. For example:

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2008, 4, 1, 18, 53, 0);
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("%h"));              // Displays 6 
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("h tt"));            // Displays 6 PM

The following example demonstrates the Hour property.

			System.DateTime moment = new System.DateTime(
											1999, 1, 13, 3, 57, 32, 11);
			// Year gets 1999. 
			int year = moment.Year;
			
			// Month gets 1 (January). 
			int month = moment.Month;
			
			// Day gets 13. 
			int day = moment.Day;
			
			// Hour gets 3. 
			int hour = moment.Hour;
			
			// Minute gets 57. 
			int minute = moment.Minute;
			
			// Second gets 32. 
			int second = moment.Second;
			
			// Millisecond gets 11. 
			int millisecond = moment.Millisecond;
