This piece of code can be used in any application to fill the 24 hours time combo box using specified interval.
It formats the time as hour:minute. And displays the times calculated based upon used interval.

Excellent! Just to share some info, you can let SQL do most of the work for you...
CREATE PROCEDURE FillTimes @Interval int AS DECLARE @Index int DECLARE @TotalMinutes int
SET @TotalMinutes = 1440 SET @Index = 0
IF (@Interval > 0) BEGIN WHILE (@Index < @TotalMinutes) BEGIN PRINT CONVERT(CHAR(5),DATEADD(mi,@Index,0),108) SET @Index = @Index+@Interval END END ELSE BEGIN PRINT N'Please make sure that interval is greater than zero' END

Nice info, I tried but could not find documentation for the DATEADD third parameter in the SQL Server Books Online. Could you please share from where you got that we can set this parameter as 0 instead of date expression as documented.
In Books online the following info can be found:
Syntax DATEADD ( datepart , number, date )
date:
Is an expression that returns a datetime or smalldatetime value, or a character string in a date format.

Sure... "0" is a valid expression that returns a datetme or smalldatetime value... it is the underlying date serial number for '01/01/1900' which is the basis for all SQL dates (number of days since 01/01/1900 00:00:00.000). The "0" is just a shorthand for that date and it's quite common to use it in many date functions.
In this particular case, you could use just about any integer that equates to a date because all we're interested in is adding time to some whole date. Every date that has no time (or has a time of midnight) can be represented by a whole number. I use "0" because it's an indication that I don't really care about the date. Like I said, it's just shorthand for 01/01/1900. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Sorry, my vote didn't register before... although I did it a different way, I thought your code was rather clever. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
