I'm quite unsure about your question. Do you want to get a DateTime value from an input string (that is called a parsing operation), or do you want to get a specific string representation for a DateTime value you already have?

No you don't want it as strings. Please re-read my comments below, and use the proper methods for Date and Time handling.

Don't use text boxes to get date input, use the proper calendar controls that are freely available.

You need to deal with dates properly as DateTime class objects. Do not use text strings except when the values need to be displayed or printed. Go to DateTime Structure (System)[^] for date/times, and Calendar Class (System.Web.UI.WebControls)[^] to learn how to use this control.

i am already using calander control only but i am getting the date only in mm/dd/yyyy format but i need to get in these formats 01/29/2018 13:18:46
01/07/2017 10:48:00,06/07/2017 11:38:00

How many times must I repeat this? Do not use strings to manipulate dates and times in your code. The only time you need to convert them to strings is when you want to display them to the user. If you are manipulating them as strings inside your code then you are doing it completely wrong, and will most likely have problems with your programs.

kav@94 31-Jan-18 0:31am

then could you give some sample code with which i can date in these formats 01/29/2018 13:18:46
01/07/2017 10:48:00,06/07/2017 11:38:00

Is it my use of English that you do not understand or what? Have you actually followed either of the links I gave you above, in order to find out how to do it properly?

If you are trying it out with ASP.Net and C# then below solution can help you out to start.

[Asp.Net Calendar control with Time]

If you need a control in Win form and c# then below is an example you can look out.

C# DateTimePicker Control[^]

For the Win form example you need to add three drop downs as you can see it was done in Asp.net solution and proceed with your solution.

N.B: Please don't copy paste the samples provided .Go through the examples try to see how they are achieving their need and then you atry to implement yours with certain changes required.

Tha above solution provided are also looks good for me:)
