[RESOLVED] DateTime object question

[Visslan]

I want to pick startTime (DataTime object) randomly from 06:00 to 10:00. So far (and very very wrong) I have come up with this. How can I accomplished this with code that actually works?

Random stime = new Random();
int startTime = stime.Next( 6, 10 );

DateTime dt = new DateTime();
dt = (00:00) + startTime;

Hi,

How about this;

Random stime = new Random();
int hours = stime.Next( 6, 10 );
int minutes = stime.Next(0, 60);
int seconds = stime.Next(0, 60);

int year = 2007;
int month = 3;
int day = 1;

DateTime dt = new DateTime(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds);

Regards,

Laitinen

Yeah but I want the result in this form:

06:00

Don't know how to.

dtDob.Format("F",null);

long tick1 = new DateTime(1,1,1,6,0,0).Ticks / 10000000;
long tick2 = new DateTime(1,1,1,10,0,0).Ticks  / 10000000;
Random r = new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond);
long tick3 = r.Next((int)tick1,(int)tick2);
DateTime d = new DateTime(tick3 * 10000000);
string s = d.ToShortTimeString();

Just add this;

string timeString = dt.ToShortTimeString();
