SOLVE:

string.Format("{0:s}", EstimatedDate)

Answer 1

You can use The "s" standard format specifier which is exactly generate the result you want.

EstimatedDate.ToString("s");

From documentation;

The pattern reflects a defined standard (ISO 8601), and the property is read-only. Therefore, it is always the same, regardless of the culture used or the format provider supplied. The custom format string is "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss".

Answer 2

EstimatedDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss"); sill give you the desired format

For a full example of:

DateTime date = DateTime.Parse("1/6/2016 12:00:00 AM");
string dateStr = date.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss");

Update from @soner-gönül: - This method is Cultural dependent, where as "s" is not. CurrentCulture must be Gregorian Calendar for this to work.
