Solution 1

It would help if you old us what language. The to string method on the date time takes format strings. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/String2DateTime.aspx

Solution 2

String.Format("{0:r}", DateTime.Now);

(DateTime.Now).ToString("{0:r}");

Reason for my vote of 2
your String.Format works though it will only return GMT if in that time zone.

(DateTime.Now).ToString("{0,r}") returns "{0,r}" not a formatted time code.

Lol, if it works don't you think it deserves a little more than a 2?

see here[^] for a list of formats that you can use.

here are some options:

VB

DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("r")
'equals Mon, 24 May 2010 22:56:46 GMT

'If you want to add the hyphens try

DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("ddd, dd'-'MMM'-'yyyy HH':'mm':'ss 'GMT'")
'equals Mon, 24-May-2010 22:56:46 GMT

you definitely want UtcNow though because that will convert it to coordinated universal time which "in casual use, when fractions of a second are not important, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) can be considered equivalent to UTC or UT1" from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time[^]
