<asp:TextBox ID="txtendtime123" runat="server" Text= '<%# Bind("Endtime","{0:u}") %>' ></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I have to calculate number of hours based on calculations end time- start time which works fine but the problem is my date automatically gets incremented even when i dont edit it.
Below is the scenario for same.
Example.
my textbox contains::2013-15-08 23:30:00zz
After editing::2013-15-08 23:56:00zz
After Update::2013-16-08 9:40:00zz

below is my C# code for the same.

TextBox txtdatetimeend = (TextBox)gvr.FindControl("txtendtime123");
string endtime = txtdatetimeend.Text;

string[] arrendtime = endtime.Split(' ');
string timepart = arrendtime[1];

string[] splitendtime = timepart.Split(':');

int endhours = Convert.ToInt32(splitendtime[0]);
int endminutes = Convert.ToInt32(splitendtime[1]);


Label lblstarttime = (Label)gvr.FindControl("lblstarttime");
string starttime = lblstarttime.Text;

string[] arrstarttime = starttime.Split(' ');
string startpart = arrstarttime[1];

string[] splitstart = startpart.Split(':');

int starthours = Convert.ToInt32(splitstart[0]);
int startmin = Convert.ToInt32(splitstart[1]);


double finalhours =Convert.ToDouble(endhours - starthours);

int finalminutes = endminutes - startmin;

double newfinalm = Convert.ToDouble(finalminutes);

double newfinalminutes = newfinalm / 60;

double finalentryhours = finalhours + Convert.ToDouble(newfinalminutes);

DateTime dtfrthus = Convert.ToDateTime(endtime);

        string dtentertime = Convert.ToString(dtfrthus);

        DateTime final = Convert.ToDateTime(dtentertime);

        //var sqlFormattedDate = dtfrthus.Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

        string querystring = Request.QueryString["Userid"];
        connfordata.Open();
        SqlCommand cmdfrmonday = new SqlCommand("update s001_Timesheets set s001_hrsday4 = '" + finalentryhours + "',s001_TimeEntryEnd = '" + final + "',s001_tsnarrationtxt = '" + narra + "' where s001_TimesheetsID = '" + id + "' ", connfordata);
        cmdfrmonday.ExecuteNonQuery();
        connfordata.Close();

Looks like a huge abuse. Why would you ever get time from some text?

You are using very, very wrong approach. To find some duration, use System.DateTime itself, not extracting minutes or hours. For this type, subtraction operator is defined:

C#

System.DateTime before = //...
System.DateTime after = //...
System.TimeSpan duration = after - before; // that's it
double totalHours = duration.TotalHours;
double totalSeconds = duration.TotalSeconds;
//...
