Parsing the DateTime format to get Format String

Question

I would like to be able to get the format string from a DateTime string.

e.g.

"2012-12-08 15:00:00" => "yyyy-MM

Answer 1

You can try by writing the below code to get yyyy/dd/MM HH:mm format.

DateTimeFormatInfo df1 = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
df1.SortTimePattern();

It would give you same HH:mm format.
