Android Question [SOLVED] Return a leading zero if needed using DateTime.GetHour

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

Using the code below, is there a way to have GetHour and GetMinute display a "0" in front of the string if the returned value is less than 10? If the converted hours = "9" for 9 in the morning, I would like the returned string to have "09" in it.

    Dim strMyTimeString As String = _
        DateTime.GetHour(lngMyTics) & ":" & DateTime.GetMinute(lngMyTics)

Thanks

"DateTime.GetHour" returns an INT; you could use NumberFormat to add a leading zero.
Something like:
NumberFormat(DateTime.GetHour(lngMyTics), 2 ,0)
Or, even better, smart string literals:

Dim strMyTimeString As String =  _
$"$2{DateTime.GetHour(lngMyTics)}:$2{DateTime.GetMinute(lngMyTics)}"$

Hi udg,

Thanks for the quick reply. Wow. NumberFormat is sure handy!

Or you could have just used at the beginning of your code.

DateTime.TimeFormat = "hh:mm"

Or am I missing something here.

Enjoy...

Hi Peter,

I will try that one as well. Looks like that one has more flexibility.

Cheers.
