Setting a Specific Time on a Date variable?

[ragstta]

Hi All

i have two date variables

Dim dtDate as Date
Dim dtTime as Date

dtDate = "4/19/2007 15:00:00"
dtTime = "1/1/1900 18:00:00"

I want to set the time of dtTime on dtDate without changing the date
so that

Dim dtOutput as date

dtOutPut = "4/19/2007 18:00:00"

I know this is probably possible with string manipulation etc
is there a more cleverer way of doing this using .net functions etc!>??

What is the purpose of this, and what is dtTime for?

Yes it's possible with string manipulation, but if you're looking for current time, then you need a different variable, such as:

Dim dtDate As DateTime = System.DateTime.Now

That will pull current date and dime into that variable...

Details about the questions help a great detail in providing an answer...

Hi, you can do something like this

        Dim d As Date = #4/19/2007 12:00:00 PM#
        'Change the time from 12:00:00 PM to 3:30:20 PM
        d = d.Date.Add(TimeSpan.Parse("15:30:20"))
        MessageBox.Show(d.ToString)
