Question

I have date in format \"MM/DD/YYYY\" e.g. \"09/25/2011\", how i can convert this in format \"DD/MM/YYYY\".

my code is:

private DateTime GetDate()
{
          


        

Answer 1

Have you tried formatting the date object as dd/MM/yyyy?

string d = Convert.ToDateTime("09/25/2011").ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"); //returns 25/09/2011
DateTime date = DateTime.Parse("09/25/2011", new CultureInfo("en-GB")); // returns 09/25/2011
string d2 = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"); //should return 25/09/2011

Answer 2

string input = Console.ReadLine();

 string[] dtarray = input.Split('/');

DateTime datechanged = new DateTime(Convert.ToInt32(dtarray[2]),Convert.ToInt32(dtarray[1]),Convert.ToInt32(dtarray[0]));

I would suggest your function just does the following...

private DateTime GetDate()
{
   return DateTime.ParseExact("09/25/2011", "MM/dd/yyyy", null);
}

Then when you use the function...

string formattedDate = GetDate().ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
