how to conver date string from one format to another format in c#?
(4 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I am trying to convert string 201702070001 into DateTime format like 2017-02-07 00:01
For this I tried like as below. I also followed the tutorial http://www.csharp-examples.net/string-format-datetime/. but not able to solve the problem.
string dateTime = "201702070001";
IFormatProvider culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", true);
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.Parse(dateTime, culture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AssumeLocal);
You have to convert it using the right format. Like this:
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.ParseExact("201702070001", "yyyyMMddHHmm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
You should first convert the string into DateTime object and then using the custom date formatting strings to print the DateTime, based on your needs.
Below is an example
var dateStr = "201702070001";
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(dateStr, "yyyyMMddHHmm", null);
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"));
I am using the default FormatProvider. Depending on the locale settings on your computer, it might or might not work for you
You have provided 2 examples: 201702070001 and 20170302254. They are not consistent with each other. The first one fits yyyyMMddHHmm but the other does not. You will have to find the proper format string that you need. You can reference the correct format specifiers from Custom Date and Time Format Strings

I am doing an asp.net mvc project and I need to convert the string of "06/22/2019 00:00:00" to a valid DateTime type in format of 2019/06/22 without the part of hour and minute and second
You can use DateTime.ParseExact, here is an example :
http://net-informations.com/q/faq/stringdate.html
Finally, it should look like this :
string s = "06/22/2019 00:00:00";
DateTime myDate = DateTime.ParseExact(s, "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Debug.WriteLine(myDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
You can do this:
var dateString = "06/22/2019 00:00:00";
var datePart = dateString.Split(' ')[0];
var date = DateTime.Parse(datePart);
Though remember that DateTime will still have a default value for the time (12:00 AM), if you want the Date part only from the object, use date.Date which will return an instance with the default time (mentioned earlier).
DateTime contains default Time even if you access DateTime.Date. You can achieve format of date by converting Date into string.
Something like,
DateTime myDate = DateTime.ParseExact("06/22/2019 00:00:00", "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string dateInFormat = $"{myDate.Year}/{myDate.Month}/{myDate.Day}";
POC : .net Fiddle
You convert the string to a DateTime object and then to display just the date portion you can use ToShortDateString like this:
var myDateTime = DateTime.Parse( "06/22/2019 00:00:00") //presumably use a variable here instead.
var date = myDateTime.ToShortDateString();
How you want to display this can be done using the CultureInfo part as shown here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime.toshortdatestring?view=netframework-4.8

I have DateTime which contains standard Date Time. I am trying to convert this into "yyyymmdd" format.
DateTime deliveryDate = myRepository.DeliveryDate; //3/31/2018 12:00:00 AM;
DateTime myDeliveryDate = DateTime.ParseExact(deliveryDate.ToString(),
"yyyymmdd",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
DateTimeStyles.None)
What is wrong in the above code, I got an error like this:
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.at System.DateTimeParse.ParseExact(String s, String format, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi, DateTimeStyles style)
The DateTime class doesn't store the date in a particular format, if you want it represented like yyyymmdd you have to convert it to a string:
string myDeliveryDate = deliveryDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
You should note that month is a capital M (small m is for minutes).
DateTime is just the container of all the information. If you want it parsed in yyyyMMdd format, use
string myDeliveryDate = deliveryDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd");

I have tried following way but doesn't work
dateTime="2018-12-13T07:33:35.893Z"
DateTime dt;
DateTime.TryParseExact(dateTime, out dt);
But I am always getting dt as {1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM}.
Can you please tell me why? and how can I convert that string to date?
I also tried Convert.ToDateTime but doesn't work.
What I actually want is getting the dd/MM/yyyy string'd DateTime so I could perform a query on a DB.
Have you got the original DateTime object or you simply have it in a string?
In case you've got it as DateTime:
string european = dateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
In case you've got it as a string:
string date = "2018-12-13T07:33:35.893Z";
if(DateTime.TryParse(date , out DateTime result))
result.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
Have a look at the original MSDN documentation about the DateTime.ToString method
Since you've got a DateTime you can convert to that format:
var thisExactMoment = DateTime.Now;
thisExactMoment.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
With your "dateTime" variable, just perform dateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") and you're ready to go.
var dateTime = "2018-12-13T07:33:35.893Z";
var x = DateTime.Parse(dateTime).ToString(#"MM\/dd\/yyyy");

I need to convert a string with date to valid c# date time object.
input string example = "2015-03-24T12:31:33.8700000"
output c# datetime
I tried doing this
DateTime.ParseExact(x.claimDetails.clmDOA, "yyyy-MM-dd HHmmss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
Buit it gave exception
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime
Please Note: I googled thoroghly . Somehow i couldnt find any string
with "T" included as in datetime string.
Prior to downvoting if one can suggest me exactly where a question is answered with datetime string containg a T in it or of this format.yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss.fffffff
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(example);
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(example, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss.fffffff", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Should work for you.
From DateTime.ParseExact documentation;
Converts the specified string representation of a date and time to its
DateTime equivalent. The format of the string representation must
match a specified format exactly or an exception is thrown.
In your case, they are not.
You need to use T as a string literal delimiter, specify : as a TimeSeparator and seconds fraction (with fffffff specifier) as well.
var dt = DateTime.ParseExact("2015-03-24T12:31:33.8700000",
"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.fffffff",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
DateTime.ParseExact(example , "yyyy MM dd HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

how to convert date from yyyyMMdd format to mm-dd-yyyy fomrat
I have a string which contains date in yyyyMMdd format. I want to convert that date into system date format using ConvertTo.DateTime() method or any other simple method.
string value = "19851231"; //yyyyMMdd
DateTime dateTime = 1985/12/31;
string time = "19851231";
DateTime theTime= DateTime.ParseExact(time,
"yyyyMMdd",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
DateTimeStyles.None);
have at look at the static methods DateTime.Parse() and DateTime.TryParse(). They will allow you to pass in your date string and a format string, and get a DateTime object in return.
