Date Sync Time in C #, getting the wrong output

Question

I am trying to parse a date using below code

DateTime mydate = DateTime.ParseExact(datetoconvert,"dd/mm/yyyy",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat); 

but its output is incorrect, datetoconvert in the code above 30/Mar/2017 , but output 29/Jan/2017

I look forward to your valuable answers ...

Answer 1

Lowercase mm means minute, use mm

 DateTime mydate = DateTime.ParseExact(datetoconvert,"dd/MM/yyyy",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat); 

If you want to print it as 30/Mar/2017 (another section):

 string result = mydate.ToString("dd/MMM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); 

But note that / has special meaning (in Parse and ToString ). It will be replaced by your current cultural date separator, which seems to / but not with another. You can avoid this by specifying CultureInfo.InvariantCulture or disguising it by wrapping it with apostrophes:

 DateTime mydate = DateTime.ParseExact(datetoconvert,"dd'/'MM'/'yyyy",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat); 

Answer 2

replace

 "dd/mm/yyyy" 

with

 "dd/MMM/yyyy" 

since "Jan" corresponds to MMM instead of mm (in minutes)

"MMM" The abbreviated name of the month.

Answer 3

Date format is incorrect. try "dd / mm / yyyy" instead of "dd / mm / yyyy"

If you need the name of the abbreviated month, use "dd / MMM / yyyy"
