convert datetime to date format dd/mm/yyyy

Question

I have a DateTime object 2/19/2011 12:00:00 AM. I want to convert this object to a string 19/2/2011.

Please help me to convert DateTime to string format.

Answer 1

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(yourObject.ToString(), "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);  string s = dt.ToString("dd/M/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); 

Answer 2

First of all, you don't convert a DateTime object to some format, you display it in some format.

Given an instance of a DateTime object, you can get a formatted string in that way like this:

DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 2, 19); string formatted = date.ToString("dd/M/yyyy");
