This is so simple to do for anyone..you need to try it by yourself...Do you google it?If you expect code from here then it willn't increase your coding skill.Ok,then lets see..

DateTime.Now.ToString() will show you current time.You can use different foramts for that..suppose if you use DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss")then it will display time as hour,minute,second format.If you use DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt") then it will represent whether it is AM or PM.There are lot of articles in MSDN for it..see those..here i give you an simple clock example code for reference that you can understand easily how to build your application..

Thank you for the reply and help,
I did a lots of research about coding. I am also so much volunteer to learn.

It was not my request. My request is, that set the time by the user with scrolling a TextBox Control in a scrollview container.

I tried many ways to get the String's Date and time but, no success.

Thank in advance

Set the time?Is it like alarm application?and what you actually need?how to set time or how to get string representation of date and time?

Dave Crump 20-Aug-12 19:16pm

Yes, exactly like Alarm Setting.
The scenario is like that; User has to set the time, for example like 12:30.
I have to get "12:30" for later use. Because I have to search based on the setted time.
