If you have a string, then you basically need to reformat that string to fit your required format. The DateTime object itself does not have a format associated with it. It's not internally stored as a string. Perhaps you mean that you have a DateTime object and you want to extract a specific string format from that. If so, that's possible. Just use an appropriate ToString overload.

Most software can output date time as the UTC format which is what you want. Ask the people providing you the date to format it correctly.
