Hello Friends,

I need one urgent help on this topic.

I have a database in mysql.
The column in table is of datatype time(0)

Similarly I have a control datetimepicker in vb.net
I have assigned format property as custom to the control and the CustomFormat property as HH:mm:ss tt so that it can just provide the time.
I dont want the date to be in it.

Issue comes when I try to retrieve the value from database
I get an error as Converion of type 'Timespan' to type 'Date' is not valid

Can anyone help me in this?

Try
   Dim myCommand As SqlCommand
   myCommand = New SqlCommand("select * from [HMS].[dbo].[DoctorSchedule] where DoctorID='" & txtDoctorID.Text & "'", Connection)
   Dim reader As SqlDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader
       While reader.Read
           TextBox1.Text = reader("ScheduledID")
           dtpMonST.Value = reader("MonST")
       End While

Catch ex As Exception
   MessageBox.Show("Error Connecting to Database: " & ex.Message)
End Try

Is your database field is datetime or varchar

Is your database field is datetime or varchar

In MySql the column datatype is time(0)
In vb.net the type is time
But still its showing the conversion error

dim dt as new datatable
dim mycon as new sqlconnection("ur conn string")
mycon.open()
dim da as new sqldataadapter("ur command",mycon)
dt.table("mytable").clear
da.fill(dt,"mytable")
bindigsource1.datasource= dt.table("mytable")
'here u have to bindg ur form controls 
datetimepicker1.databind.add("text",bindingsource1,"__ur field in db__",false)' i use here text insteadof time , u can use time also
'with this u can also bind the textboxes and other controls on form

The code did not work..

Its showing error as dt is not a member of DataTable and many more

Dim dt As New DataTable
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [HMS].[dbo].[DoctorRegister]", Connection)
dt.Table("DoctorRegister").clear()
da.Fill(dt, "DoctorRegister")
BindingSource1.DataSource = dt.table("DoctorRegister")
dtpBreakFrom.databind.add("text", BindingSource1, "BreakFrom", False)
