DateTime::ToShortTimeString Method
Converts the value of the current DateTime object to its equivalent short time string representation.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Return Value
Type: System::StringThe short time string representation of the current DateTime object.
The value of the current DateTime object is formatted using the pattern defined by the DateTimeFormatInfo::ShortTimePattern property associated with the current thread culture. The return value is identical to the value returned by specifying the "t" standard DateTime format string with the ToString(String) method.
Important Note: |
|---|
The string returned by the ToShortTimeString method is culture-sensitive. It reflects the pattern defined by the current culture's DateTimeFormatInfo object. For example, for the en-US culture, the standard short time pattern is "h:mm tt"; for the de-DE culture, it is "HH:mm"; for the ja-JP culture, it is "H:mm". The specific format string on a particular computer can also be customized so that it differs from the standard short time format string. |
