    Question Scheduler with Hour/Minute support

    I am creating a scheduler with Year/Month/Day/Hour/Minute scheduling.
    For the Year/Month/Day I used the built in calendar (<asp:calendar>) control which returns the selected date as:
    DateTime dtSelected = calendar.SelectedDate;

    Now I need to handle the Hour / Minute, so I created two dropdownlist boxes (if you know a better way please tell me, is there some kind of Hour/Minute control like the calendar?) one for the Hour and one for the Minutes.

    After the user has selected everything I want to a) post the result and b) save the result in a SQL Database. Therefore I want to add the Hour/Minute and Year/Month/Day variables together somehow.

    Is there a way to convert the current dropdownlist box results into a DateTime variable (correct format) and then merge it with the current DateTime variable that holds the Year/Month/Day so I have 1 variable with the complete schedule?

    Can this be done? Is there a more efficient way?
    Any ideas would help, thanks.

    Re: Scheduler with Hour/Minute support

    you can add any datetime value in sql database...

    //format("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    //from asp control...
    string m_szDataTime = string.format("{0}-{1}-{2} {3}:{4}:{5}",
    aspControlCalendar.SelectedDate.Year,
    aspControlCalendar.SelectedDate.Month,
    aspControlCalendar.SelectedDate.Day,
    MyHourBox.Text,
    MyMinuteBox.Text,
    MySecondBox.Text);

    string m_SQLCmd = string.Format("Update MyTable Set DateToday Values '{0}'",m_szDataTime);

    //execute
    If you think you CAN, you can, If you think you CAN'T, you are probably right.
