my bad. it cannot happen. time is saved in database completely including milliseconds. You could remove those milliseconds ONLY for VIEWING purposes. See the ff links:

Solution 3

In Database Add as string

obj.logintime=DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()

Solution 4

ToShortTimeString() function in Asp.net will retrieve only time. You can use that eg. DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()

Read the following first:
The new data types in SQL Server 2008
Following is similar thread:

In addition time will save in database including milliseconds. But you need format as you desire when you view those. Following is the link that described better:

Solution 2

Whatever you store in a DateTime field in SQL server (or .NET itself) is stored as a number of milliseconds since an arbitrary start point. Unless you store it as a string value (and that is a very bad idea), it will always have a decimal component to the seconds. Leav it alone: and handle human readable conversions when you display the data, do not try to remove information to make it simpler to display later - it won't work, it will just make things worse!
