Convert your string to date and then format that date to your format.

Obaid, I voted "5" only to compensate voted of three idiots who only demonstrated their support of extreme laziness and ignorance. Don't afraid to tell the lazy that they are lazy! After all, they are trying to be lazy not only at your expense but also at expense of other good helping people. Also, this is for their own good, first of all.

Solution 1

why dont you use this:

string dt;
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;    // display format: 4/25/2008 11:45:44 AM
dt = date.ToLongDateString();          // display format:  Friday, April 25, 2008 
dt = date.ToShortDateString();         // display format:  4/25/2008
dt = date.ToShortTimeString();        // display format: 11:45 AM
dt = date.ToLongTimeString();        // display format:  11:45:44 AM

or this is what you want:

Console.WriteLine("s = {0:s}", CurrTime );  // yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss  can be sorted!
