As fcronin said ;The field in database is a date field or varchar?

try => string MyDateTimeStr = dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString(format);

Solution 2

If you want the month first, get it's value as a string like this...

dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy");

What format you need it in depends somewhat on how you're putting in your database.

Hope that helps.

If you what to save a DateTime in Sql. Then do a datetime1.ToString("s")[^] it is a Sortable DateTime Pattern.

Showing a DateTime in UI is NOT the same as saving it in a database. When you do a datetime1.ToString(), .ToString() will use current Culture settings to show the value for the use.
