It's difficult to advise when you haven't told us what it is you are trying to convert to "DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM" format.

If the login time came from WMI then it will be a string in Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) format. In which case use the System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter class.

This code should work:

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt");

However, the default DateTime.Now.ToString() format could be adjusted through your localization settings. If you change the locale of the current thread to "en-au" for example, you will get the above format with the AM/PM. Be careful with these formatting whenever you give it to an SQL insert/update

Solution 1

Try:

C#

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt");

From the online documentation [^]on Date and Time formatting:
tt: Displays the A.M./P.M. designator for the specified DateTime.
