just playing with datetime instead of date object
as all the properties are read only, how do you set a specific time to a datetime object ?
Constructor or DateInterval
Just examples:
Var d As New DateTime(2020, 01, 05, 14, 23, 05)
or
Var c As DateTime
c = DateTime.FromString("2021-03-04 09:00:55")
or
Var k As DateTime = DateTime.Now.SubtractInterval(0,4,1)
let’s say I want to keep the date, but only change the hour to 8 and the minutes to 0
it’s really complicated compared to the “old” Date object…
I just don’t understand WHY these datetime properties are read only …
The short answer is that the objects are now “immutable” – that is to say can’t be altered – so you just have to change your mindset and create new objects when you need a different time. DateInterval can be your friend here, or other ways you can construct a new DateTime object.
It’s not so much complicated as it is just a different way of thinking, when you are used to the older Date object methods.
One way would be:
Var k As DateTime = DateTime.FromString(DateTime.Now.SQLDate + " 08:00:00")
Dim newdate As new DateTime(OldDate.Year, OldDate.Month, OldDate.Day, 8, 0)
