Answer 2

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
String.Format("{0:MMMM d, yyyy}", dt);

This should to the trick?

EDIT: Here are some handy examples! http://www.csharp-examples.net/string-format-datetime/

Answer 3

DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM dd, yyyy");

Answer 4

Try this

     String.Format("{0:MMMM dd, yyyy}", someDate)

Answer 5

If you use D for a date format the format will be taken from the Regional settings in the control panel of the machine. You could change the date format of the machine the software is running on. (Or hand code a format).

Answer 6

There doesn't appear to be a Standard Date and Time Format String that matches your desired format, so you need to construct a Custom Date and Time Format String

This should do the trick:

string.Format("{0:MMMM dd, yyyy}", value)

Or alternatively

value.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy")

• MMMM - The full name of the month, e.g. June (en-US)
• dd - The day of the month, from 01 through 31
• yyyy - The year as a four-digit number.
