Ammend DateTime Properties

[Naoise]

I have a datetime value and I want to ammend its time and minutes properties based on selected drop down values. These are read only properties however. How can I achieve this? Any help appreciated.

Sorry, hour and minute properties

DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
d.AddHours(#);
d.AddMinutes(#);

System.DateTime

Well it's more like I have a drop down of hours so 0 to 23 and a drop down of minutes 0 to 59 and I want to set it to a specific value. Any easy way to do this?

If I go d.AddHours(MySelectedValue - d.Hour) will this just change the hour value or will it affect the overall date? As in if it is close to midnight would there ever be a possibility that it could change the date on me? I just want something that will set the hour and date in isolation for a given datetime.

Why don't you use a date/time picker control?

It returns a DateTime value.

so you have a date and you want to add a time to it.

how about creating a new one?

OTTOMH:

DateTime supplied = someArbitraryValue;
int hours = hoursEntered;
int minutes = minutesEntered;

DateTime newWithTime = new DateTime(supplied.Year, supplied.Month, supplied.Day, hours, minutes, 0);

True - My obsession with ammending the existing one blurred my vision on this one. Thanks
