Add DataTextFormatString="{0:hh:mm tt}" in DropDownList,
Try this,

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" DataTextFormatString="{0:hh:mm tt}">

Where u wanna show the time at that point add the DataTextFormatString to DropDown as DropDown.Items.Add(DataTextFormatString);

rpriyank007 15-Dec-10 7:13am

DropDown.Items.Add(DataTextFormatString);
this is not the correct syntax. did u try before posting?

Always write your code inside code block
