Hi,
Try this one....
GetFormattedDate('dd/mm/yyyy')

C#

public static string GetFormattedDate(string strDate)
        {
            //string ci = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.ToString();
            string[] DateArray = strDate.Split('/');
            string strResultDate = "";

            if (getDateRangeSetting() == "0") //mm/dd/yyy
            {
                strResultDate = DateArray[1].ToString() + "/" + DateArray[0].ToString() + "/" + DateArray[2].ToString();

            }
            else
            {
                /* dd/mm/yyyy */
                strResultDate = strDate.ToString();
            }
            return strResultDate;

        }

public static string getDateRangeSetting()
        {
            string strRetNumber = "1";
            string srDatePattern = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern.ToString();
            switch (srDatePattern)
            {
                case "M/d/yyyy": strRetNumber = "0";
                    break;
                case "d/M/yyyy": strRetNumber = "1";
                    break;
            }

            return strRetNumber;
        }

You can use Date object of javascript.For demonstration.

JavaScript

var date= new Date();
    var month = (date.getMonth())+1;
    var day = date.getDay();
    var year = date.getYear();
    var hour = date.getHours();
    var minute = date.getMinutes();
    var currDateFormat = month + "/" + day + "/" + year + " " + hour + ":" + minute;
    window.document.write(currDateFormat);

Then make an ajax call to server,sending your formatted date to server.Use Jquery ajax construct as below.

JavaScript

$.ajax({
            url: "Your url",
            type: "post",
            data: currDateFormat,
            success: function (response) {            
}
});

In above code you can recollect the status of your data base operation from any server side coding in success function code block of ajax.Here in above code use 'response' to achieve it.Hope this will help you.

Solution 2

You don't.

Instead, you transfer data between server and client in a way that you know.

Then, for displaying data on the client side, use the client's standard displaying format. You don't need to know what that format is, just use the standard DateTime.ToString()[^] method.
