Question

I have string in which it has Date of type- ‘mm-dd-yyyy’;

I have to convert it into “dd-mm-yyyy”.

   DateTime changedFormatDate = DateTime.ParseExact("02-27-2012", "mm-dd-yyyy", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-GB"));

but the converted value is: 27:01:2012 00:02:00

I want it to be 27-02-2012.

What is the correct sysntax please?

Answer 1

DateTime.ParseExact("02-27-2012", "MM-dd-yyyy", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-GB"));

Note the fixed date string (got rid of the extra 2) and the MM – which meanths months: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx
