The "t" Custom Format Specifier
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "t" custom format specifier represents the first character of the AM/PM designator. The appropriate localized designator is retrieved from the DateTimeFormatInfo.AMDesignator or DateTimeFormatInfo.PMDesignator property of the current or specific culture. The AM designator is used for all times from 0:00:00 (midnight) to 11:59:59.999. The PM designator is used for all times from 12:00:00 (noon) to 23:59:59.99.

If the "t" format specifier is used without other custom format specifiers, it is interpreted as the "t" standard date and time format specifier. For more information about using a single format specifier, see Using Single Custom Format Specifiers later in this topic.

The following example includes the "t" custom format specifier in a custom format string.

C#

DateTime date1; 
date1 = new DateTime(2008, 1, 1, 18, 9, 1);
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("h:m:s.F t", 
                  CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
// Displays 6:9:1 P
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("h:m:s.F t", 
                  CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("el-GR")));
// Displays 6:9:1 µ                        
date1 = new DateTime(2008, 1, 1, 18, 9, 1, 500);
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("h:m:s.F t", 
                  CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
// Displays 6:9:1.5 P
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("h:m:s.F t", 
                  CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("el-GR")));
// Displays 6:9:1.5 µ

Solution 4

you can use

C#

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"));

or

C#

DateTime date1 = new DateTime();
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"));
