Answer 3

DateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") may give the date in dd-MM-yyyy format. This depends on your short date format. If short date format is not as per format, we have to replace character '-' with '/' as below:

 date = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy").Replace('-','/');

Answer 4

You can use the ToString() method, if you want a string representation of your date, with the correct formatting.

Like:

DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 02, 19);
string strDate = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

Answer 5

This works for me:

string dateTimeString = "21‎-‎10‎-‎2014‎ ‎15‎:‎40‎:‎30";
dateTimeString = Regex.Replace(dateTimeString, @"[^\u0000-\u007F]", string.Empty);

string inputFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss";
string outputFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(dateTimeString, inputFormat, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string output = dateTime.ToString(outputFormat);

Console.WriteLine(output);

Answer 6

You have to pass the CultureInfo to get the result with slash(/)

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
