Convert DateTime Format

Question

net 4 and c#.

I have in a Text Box DateTimeValue

3/1/2011 12:00:00 AM

I need to convert it in a String of this format:

Format="yyyy-MM-dd"

Any idea how to do it? PS: I can remove information about the time

Thanks for your time

Answer 1

Use DateTime.ParseExact like so:

DateTime.ParseExact("3/1/2011 12:00:00 AM", "G", 
           CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US")).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

Be sure to specify the culture, because the format you used is ambiguous.

Answer 2

is this what are you asking for?

DateTime.Parse("3/1/2011 12:00:00 AM").ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
