Try string formating in Eval

There are several ways to format the date.

<%#Eval("OpenTime", "{0:dd/M/yyyy}") %>

in your case

<%#Eval("OpenTime", "{0:HH:mm:ss}") %>

how would I compare stored time with current time to show some text <%if (DateTime.Now > Convert.ToDateTime(Eval("CloseTime","{0:hh:mm:ss tt}"))) { %>

why don't you compare this in serverside and pass a string value based on condition shop open or shop close – Sriram Mar 28 '17 at 07:06

You can try the query to fetch time only like this select cast(ColumnName as time) [time] from yourTableName.

Depending on the database engine, that might return the correct time with the current date. If you are going to do this in the query itself, use a function that returns a string. – Dan Bracuk Mar 27 '17 at 12:59

DateTime dt = new DateTime(); string dtDisplay = string.Empty;

dt=DateTime.Now; dtDisplay = dt.ToString("hh:mm tt");

then you can display the dtDisplay value in the aspx page.
