I am working with an old mysql database in which a date is stored (without a time) as a datetime and a time is stored as a string (without a date).
In C# I then have a DateTime with a value like
2010-06-25 12:00:00 AM and a String with a value like
What is the most concise way to combine these without a lot of overhead?
I have tried a few methods including:
DateTime NewDateTime = DateTime.Parse(OldDateTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd ") + TimeString);
I dislike converting the existing DateTime to a string and appending the time.
I can convert the time string to a date, but then I get today's date and adding it as a number of ticks to the old datetime is incorrect.
Note: Don't worry about validation, it is done elsewhere. The time is represented using 24-hour format without seconds.
