I am querying SharePoint and my dates are returned as YYYY-MM-dd 16:27:12 - for display only I tried to modify the syntax to be
string dateInfo = xNode.Attributes[“Altered”].Value;
sb.Append(String.Format(“{0:MM/dd/yyyy}”, dateInfo));
However that is not formatting the date time. What do i need to change so that the date/time is returned in my required format?
My desired format is mm/dd/yyyy 4:27:12 12 hour format so
You have to parse it to DateTime first:
string dateInfo = xNode.Attributes["Altered"].Value;
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(dateInfo);
sb.Append(String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", dt));
Try, like:
var result = DateTime.Parse(dateInfo).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

I have a date time string "12-24-2013 15:19:29" which is in "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss". I want to convert this string to datetime. But the format should not change.ie, it should be the same "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss" format.
When I used following method,
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.ParseExact(date31strin, "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
the format is changed to "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss". I have tried some other method also, but still getting this same format.
First, you should be parsing the string to a DateTime and then format it to the second format using ToString() method.
//Convert your string to a DateTime
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.ParseExact(date31strin,
"MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
//If you want to change the format
string secondFormat = dt2.ToString("Second format string");
Note: Date is a Date and it does not have a format. If you need to convert the string to a DateTime, first line of code is enough
You are not changing the format.
You are parsing a string into a DateTime object which does not have a format.
When you decide to present the DateTime, you can format it any way you wish.
to parse String to DateTime use method DateTime.TryParse (http://msdn.microsoft.com/cs-cz/library/ch92fbc1%28v=vs.110%29.aspx) and then use DateTime formating (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1%28v=vs.110%29.aspx) to output to aspx page
//frndzz if you are using j query and you don't convert date in(MM/dd/yyyy) to //(dd/MM/yyyy) then this code will help you
// i try it and i get the answer
string sd=txtmydate.Text //sd=04/27/2015 (MM-dd-yyyy) format
string [] sdate = sd.Split('-');
string fd = sdate[1];
fd=string.Concat(sdate[1],"-",sdate[0],"-",sdate[2]);
DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(fd);
txtshow.Text = dt.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
//txtshow will show you date as 27-04-2015 (dd/MM/yyyy) format
thanks
How to convert string to DateTime:
string iDate = "Absent";
aEmployeeAttendence.Intime = DateTime.Parse(iDate);
//aEmployeeAttendence (object)
//Intime (field)
i am picking the value from calender extender in textbox and i am getting the value in the format {"MM/dd/yyyy"} but i want it in the format {"dd/MM/yyyy"} in another textbox
( txt_actualrightformat.Text) as code shown below
DateTime wrongformat = DateTime.Parse(TextBox4.Text);
String rightformat = String.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", wrongformat.Date);
txt_actualrightformat.Text = rightformat.ToString();
DateTime is irespective of the format, format is only for displaying purpose. If you are not getting the right date in wrongformat then you can use DateTime.ParseExact with the format. and then simply
txt_actualrightformat.Text = wrongformat.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
EDIT:
use DateTime.ParseExcat like:
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(TextBox4.Text, "MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
txt_actualrightformat = dt.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
try these
DateTime wrongformat = DateTime.Parse(TextBox4.Text);
txt_actualrightformat.Text =wrongformat.ToString("dd'/'MM'/'yyyy");
or
txt_actualrightformat.Text =String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", _wrongformat )
update:
i think the date in the TextBox4is really in the wrongformat :-)
Note that "22/3/2013" It matches the format "d/M/yyyy" and doesn't match the format "dd/MM/yyyy". - for "dd/MM/yyyy" it should be "22/03/2013".
DateTime dt;
if(DateTime.TryParseExact(TextBox4.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
DateTimeStyles.None, out td))
{
// Valid date used in `TextBox4` (NOTE : dd/MM/yyyy)!, you can use dt now as i explained above!.:-)
}
Before parsing or converting any datetime value check your calendar's date format. on your aspx page go to the calendarExtender and go to its properties then find format and set the format to dd/MM/yyyy and todays date format also do the same. Then from your code behind declare a variable in datetime type and simply pass the text box value which calendarExtender puts the date on and convert the textbox value in date time. The code will be like
public DateTime date{get;set;}
date = Convert.ToDateTime(txtDate.Text.ToString());
In sql server the value will save like "2016-02-09 00:00:00.000" this format
I have a conversion problem with datetime. I have a date string as MM/dd/yyyy. Now I need to convert it to yyyy-MM-dd.
But I'm facing some error. Please help
public static DateTime ToDBDateTime(string _dateTime)
{
string sysFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt";
string _convertedDate = string.Empty;
if (_dateTime != null || _dateTime != string.Empty)
{
_convertedDate = DateTime.ParseExact(_dateTime, sysFormat, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(_toDBDateFormat);
//_convertedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(_dateTime).ToString(_toDBDateFormat);
/// Debug.Print(sysFormat);
}
return Convert.ToDateTime(_convertedDate);
}
And I want to know that is there is any way to pass the datetime in various formats and it would return the expected format.
E.g.: if I pass date as dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy, the above function would return the date in format as yyyy-MM-dd.
Please provide some suggestion to solve datetime issues.
I have a date string as MM/dd/yyyy
Right... and yet you're trying to parse it like this:
string sysFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt";
...
_convertedDate = DateTime.ParseExact(_dateTime, sysFormat,
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
You need to give a format string which matches your input - so why are you including a time part? You probably just want:
string sysFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy";
However, that's not the end of the problems. You're then converting that DateTime back into a string like this:
.ToString(_toDBDateFormat)
... and parsing it once more:
return Convert.ToDateTime(_convertedDate);
Why on earth would you want to do that? You should avoid string conversions as far as possible. Aside from anything else, what's to say that _toDBDateFormat (a variable name which raises my suspicions to start with) and Convert.ToDateTime (which always uses the current culture for parsing) are going to be compatible?
You should:
Work out how you want to handle being given an empty string or null, and just return an appropriate DateTime then
Otherwise, just parse using the right format.
This part of your question also concerns me:
E.g.: if I pass date as dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy, the above function would return the date in format as yyyy-MM-dd.
There's no such thing as "the date in format as yyyy-MM-dd". A DateTime is just a date and time value. It has no intrinsic format. You specify how you want to format it when you format it. However, if you're using the value for a database query, you shouldn't be converting it into a string again anyway - you should be using parameterized SQL, and just providing it as a DateTime.
As you have a date in a string with the format "MM/dd/yyyy" and want to convert it to "yyyy-MM-dd" you could do like this:
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, "MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
Use the inbuilt tostring like this:
Convert.ToDateTime(_convertedDate).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") or whatever format you want.
I tried this and its working fine.
DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2009, 8, 1);
date1.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt");
You can apply any format in this ToString.
Hope that helps

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now
dt.Date is created to 31.10.2012 00:00:00 .it is created to dd.mm.yyyy format but i need dd/mm/yyyy. Can i use: return new DateTime(d.Year, d.Month, d.Day, 0, 0, 0); it will create to me dd/mm/yyyy solution?Please dont translate String.i need datetime...
The DateTime struct doesn't store any formatting information internally. If you want to output the DateTime instance as a formatted string, you just need to call ToString() with the proper format string:
var date = DateTime.Now;
var formattedString = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
If you need more information on exactly which specifiers to use in your format string, check out:
MSDN - Custom Date and Time Format Strings
Just the way to convert to string, DateTime itself has no format:
var result = DateTime.Now.Date
.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
var dt = DateTime.Now;
var stringDt = dt.Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
In you case you can simply use :
dt.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
Anyway there al the string format you can use with DateTime : Here.
System.DateTime does not have any format. You can view its string representation in format.
Try this
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.Date.ToString("dd'/'MM'/'yyyy"));
DateTime, numeric types and most other types do not store their values in a formatted way. Rather they store their data using a binary representation. If you want to display this data to the user, you must convert it to a string. This conversion involves formatting the data.
string formattedDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Or
Console.WriteLine("Date = {0:dd/MM/yyyy}", DateTime.Now);
Console.WriteLine converts the date into a string in order to write it to the console.
DateTime structure always has the Date and Time stored in it. If you need to extract the date alone as text you can do the following.
var date = DateTime.Now.ToString("d");
Console.WriteLine(date);
This will print the date as in the format as specified by the culture set in the system. The list of standard datetime format strings supported by dotnet framework can be found here
I am trying to convert a string into date time format.
DateTime.Parse(tempfrmBankDetails.dgvBankDetails.SelectedRows[0].Cells["PaymentDate"].Value.ToString(),null);
This is printed as an output but i want it in dd/MM/yyyy format. How should i parse it
{1/2/2010 12:00:00 AM}
EDIT
I have created a custom control which accepts string input and their i am using mask as "00/00/2\000".
Here i have done all the validation into my control so as to accept all valid date but they should be only in format dd/MM/yyyy. That's why i want to convert it into string
Try this:
string stringValue = tempfrmBankDetails.dgvBankDetails.SelectedRows[0]
.Cells["PaymentDate"].Value.ToString();
DateTime dateValue = DateTime.ParseExact(stringValue, "M/d/yyyy");
// use this when you need to show that formatted date value
string formattedDate = dateValue.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
DateTime.ParseExact
