C# DateTime Hour

Description

DateTime Hour gets the hour component of the date represented by this instance.

Syntax

DateTime.Hour has the following syntax.


public int Hour { get; }

Example

The following example demonstrates the Hour property.


using System;/*from  w w w  .j a  v a2 s.c om*/
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    System.DateTime moment = new System.DateTime(
              1999, 1, 13, 3, 57, 32, 11);
  // Hour gets 3. 
  int hour = moment.Hour;

    System.Console.WriteLine(hour);
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.

Example 2

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.


using System;//w w w  .  ja  va 2 s.c o  m
public class MainClass{

  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2014, 4, 1, 18, 53, 0);
    System.Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("%h"));             
    System.Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("h tt"));          

  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
