Just use a custom format string!

you have re-post question where you stuck, do you get error or anything else like page is refreshed and output is not displayed in control?

Once you retrieve it use following code

C#

string yourDate = "10/15/2012 02:07:42 PM";
DateTime datetime = DateTime.ParseExact(yourDate, "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

string formattedDate = datetime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt");

Dont forget to add using System.Globalization namespace!

Hope that helps. If it does, mark it as answer/upvote.
Thanks

Solution 1

if in database your date column's datatype is DateTime then,

use below line for output in C#,

C#

label1.Text = dt.Rows[0]["YourDateFieldNameFromDB"].Value.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt");

Happy Coding!

A correction there (i m sure its just a typo): the format string should be "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt". "MM" would display the month. :) FTFY.
