Question

I have a little problem with time format
I would like to get an output of the form YYYY-MM-DD given the datetime data input as 19901209 which is 1990-12-09.

I would also like to know if there is any way to get the data in other formats as well, for example, DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY given the data formated in the form as specified i.e 19901209.

Thank you so much in advance.

Answer 1

        string sDate = "19901209";
        string format = "yyyyMMdd";

        System.Globalization.CultureInfo provider = 
                             System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
        DateTime result = DateTime.ParseExact(sDate, format, provider); 
        // result holds wanted DateTime
