Hello,

I have this datetime object:

C#

DateTime DateStart = dateTimePicker1.Value;

Now I'd like to set the picked date to a fixed hour, for instance 12u. So the format would look like 'yyyyMMddT12mm00'

This can be easily done by setting a string format. But my result has to be a DateTime object.

All help is appreciated!

Kind regards,
Christophe

I've tried the string solution, but further in the code it has to be a DateTime

How is about to use the ctor public DateTime (int year, int month, int day, int hour, int minute, int second); to create your date/time object and pass year, month, day from the date picker and the hour, min and second according to your requirements?

See also my comment to the question. If I understand your request correctly, something like below should do the job:

C#

DateTime DateStart = new DateTime(dateTimePicker1.Value.Year, dateTimePicker1.Value.Month, dateTimePicker1.Value.Day, 12, 0, 0);
