VB.NET DateTimePIcker Time ONLY

A snippet out of the mdsn

'The following code sample shows how to create a DateTimePicker that enables users to choose a time only.'

timePicker = new DateTimePicker();
timePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Time;
timePicker.ShowUpDown = true;

Select allOpen in new window

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229631.aspx

Please see the following Microsoft documentation for using a DateTimePicker for Time only, How to: Display Time with the DateTimePicker Control.

If you want to set the time, avoid null values by using todays date

DateTimePicker1.Value = new DateTime( DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day, 5, 30, 0 )

Select allOpen in new window

If you want to preserve the date but only change the time use this

Dim Hour = 1
Dim Minute = 30
Dim Second = 5
DateTimePicker1.Value = new DateTime(DateTimePicker1.Value.Year, DateTimePicker1.Value.Month, DateTimePicker1.Value.Day, Hour, Minute, Second )

Select allOpen in new window

I have done what you have suggested, but I want to populate the value of the time only from within code

DateTimePicker0.Value = "7/24/2014 7:01 AM"

Do I have to put in a date (even if fictitious) and then strip it back out when I execute my application?

What I was hoping to do is something like:  DateTimePicker0.Value = "7:01 AM" because I am only dealing with time

I am trying to understand how the .NET DateTimePIcker functions,, eventually the information for the DateTimePIcker will get it's information from a file that read when the user brings up the screen

Is there a better control to use than DateTimePIcker if I am dealing with just time?

Yes,

look here for custom datetimepickers:

Or you could roll your own by inheriting from DateTimePicker and adding code to behave the way you need it to.
