C # Date Time Formatting

Question

How to convert a DateTime object to this date format:

• Mmm dd yyyy
• dd month yyyy

I am currently doing object.GetDateTimeFormats ('D') [1] .ToString ()

This gives me January 31, 2012. But I should be able to get these two things:

• January 31, 2012
• January 31, 2012

Answer 1

Use the custom DateTime formatting string:

 // Returns Jan 31, 2012 myDateTimeObject.ToString("MMM dd, yyyy"); // Returns 31 January, 2012 myDateTimeObject.ToString("dd MMMM, yyyy"); 

All custom date and time formats are listed here.

Answer 2

All types of date formatting you need.

Just select the desired line format:

• MMM - gives you Jan, Feb, Mar
• MMMM - gives you January, February, March.

Answer 3

 Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("d-MMM-yy")); 

18-Jan-18

 Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("d-MM-yy")); 

18-1-18

 Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("d-MM-yyyy")); 

18-1-2018
