Hi Guys I tried that requirement I got the error as "Input string was not in a correct format".

I want the date format like this "Thursday, August 30, 2007 11:19:59 AM". how can do this in windows form.

I was tried as

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text =  string.Format("{r}", System.DateTime.Now);
        }

Here r is specifier.

Hi,

take a look at DateTime.ToLongDateString() and ToLongTimeStamp()

C#

DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
string s = d.ToLongDateString() + " " + d.ToLongTimeString();

In en-US it will result in

Wednesday, October 10, 2012 7:44:40 AM

and in de-DE it will result in

Mittwoch, 10. Oktober 2012 07:46:56

If you're using these methods, the time format will allways be correct regarding the current culture.
