Solution 3

Here you go..

string dateString = "01/31/2011";
string pattern = "MM/dd/yyyy";
DateTime parsedDate = DateTime.Now;
            
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(dateString, pattern, null, DateTimeStyles.None, out parsedDate)){
   //parsedDate.ToShortDateString()
   //ready to be used as ShorDateString
   //....
}

Good luck!

Solution 4

If you have datetime format for date you want to save then it save as datetime default positions it treat as 00. But for select with specific format then use,-
convert(varchar,date,103) here '103' is the format. There are other format are available also. like 101,102,104, and others.
