DateTime ToString issue with formatting months with "mm" specifier
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I tried to display datetime.now using the code below
DateTime.Now.ToString("mm-dd-yyyy")
but it gives me a value like this. 35-08-2016
The format mm stands for minute. Change it to
DateTime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy")
The correct value for month is "MM" not "mm"
mm -> minutes.
MM -> Month.

The format is not correct, you should use MM with Uppercase letter. C# is a case sensitive. Using a different letter case will give you a different output.
here's a link to understand standard Date and Time.

However, you can do a quick function so the date will using your culture like:
DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString(); //"01-08-2016"
DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString(); //"Friday, January 08, 2016"

Converting the date time to display milliseconds in C#
(3 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
Date time comes from Database side like this "2021-03-08T21:27:21.065" and then i have tried and format it from C# side like below,
string fullDate = Convert.ToDateTime(x.start_date).ToString("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
But i need to show last part of the date 065 as well.
"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff" is the format to include milliseconds. Please try this:
string fullDate = Convert.ToDateTime(x.start_date).ToString("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff");

As the question states, I'm trying to figure out what this datetime format is: 2019-01-17T10:49:55-05:00. Through research, I've figured out up to this point: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss But the last few numbers, I have no idea what they represent. The only thing I came up with is milliseconds but that is usually 3 number after a decimal like this: .fff which does not fit this scenario.
It looks like ISO8601 format. The last section is how far from UTC/GMT it is. In this case -5 hours.
To add a bit more, this is THE standard way to transfer date and times between systems.
It is a date in ISO8601 format. The -05:00 represents the UTC offset.
You can parse it using DateTime.ParseExact like so:
var ds = "2019-01-17T10:49:55-05:00";
var date1 = DateTime.ParseExact(ds, "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:sszzz", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Its an ISO 8601 timestamp with timezone information. The -05:00 means minus 5 hours.

How do I get the AM/PM value from a DateTime?
(15 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have the value as #7/13/2016 3:20:00 PM# And want to separate it out date and time. Format for date is "07/13/2016" and time is "03:20 PM". I have got the values with StartDateTime.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") and StartDateTime.ToString("HH:mm") but i am not sure about the "AM or PM" thing.
If I understand correctly, you have a DateTime value that you are trying to break into separate Date and Time. Microsoft has great documentation on DateTime formatting but I think what you are looking for for your time element is this:
SomeDateTime.ToString("hh:mm tt");
which should output "03:20 PM" or whatever the case may be.

date format yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ
(10 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm developing a C# library with .NET Framework 4.5.
I need to generate this date string: 2015-12-01T07:54:20Z
But now I'm generating this date string: 2015-12-01 07:54:20Z (the same that previous one but with out the T).
To generate that date I'm using this code: DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("u")
How can I generate the other date string with the T?
Your format (without the trailing Z) is called the sortable format, and it has the pre-defined format specifier "s":
DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("s") + "Z"
yields
2015-12-18T09:04:58Z
You can write whole format DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ")
or use less elegant solution ToString("u").Replace(" ","T")
HH is for 24h format and hh is for 12h format
Either
DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH\:mm\:ss.fffffffzzz");
give you 2015-12-18T13:57:31.2311892-04:00
or
DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("o");
give you 2015-12-18T14:01:54.9571247Z

use "dd/MM/yyyy" mm - minutes, MM - month

The month is actually referenced with 'MM'. Documentation
