Answer 1

The DateTime struct doesn't store any formatting information internally. If you want to output the DateTime instance as a formatted string, you just need to call ToString() with the proper format string:

var date = DateTime.Now;
var formattedString = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

If you need more information on exactly which specifiers to use in your format string, check out:
