Solution 5

If you are keeping it stored as a datetime, you can just do (Your DateTime Var).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")

Solution 1

Did you try searching MSDN (or google) at all? Simple "c# date/time format string" would have brought you here: MSDN[^]

Solution 3

Try this:

C#

   DateTime dof = new DateTime();

System.Globalization.CultureInfo c1 = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB", true);    
dof = DateTime.Parse(txtdate.Text.Trim(),  c1,System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault);

Solution 4

Hi VantyPro,

You can use this Datatime string

String dateNow = string.Format("{0}-{1:MMMM}-{2}",DateTime.Now.Date,DateTime.Now,DateTime.Now.Year);

Output will be like this:

15-November-2013

Try this

C#

enum monthToVal
        {
            JAN=1,FEB,MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC
        }

String dateNow = string.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}",DateTime.Now.Day,(monthToVal)DateTime.Now.Month,DateTime.Now.Year);

Hope this helps you a bit.

Regards,
RK

thank, but i want result: 15-NOV-2013. i have searched on google but i can't do it. but i coded a function formating a datetime as:
public string ConvertDate(DateTime dt)
{
string result="";
string _month = "";
int day = dt.Day;
int month = dt.Month;
int year = dt.Year;
switch (month)
{
case 1:
_month = "JAN";
break;
case 2:
_month = "FEB";
break;
case 3:
_month = "MAR";
break;
case 4:
_month = "APR";
break;
case 5:
_month = "MAY";
break;
case 6:
_month = "JUN";
break;
case 7:
_month = "JUL";
break;
case 8:
_month = "AUG";
break;
case 9:
_month = "SEP";
break;
case 10:
_month = "OCT";
break;
case 11:
_month = "NOV";
break;
case 12:
_month = "DEC";
break;
}
result = day + "-" + _month + "-" + year;
return result;
}
