Question

i want to convert a string variable which has the value in mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM to mm/dd/yy

How can i do it?

Answer 1

Firstly use DateTime.TryParseExact and then dateTimeVal.ToString("MM/dd/yy")

Something like

string stringDate = "12-31-2010 01:59:59 AM";
DateTime dateTimeValue;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(stringDate, "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", null, DateTimeStyles.None, out dateTimeValue))
{
    string newStringValue = dateTimeValue.ToString("MM/dd/yy");
}
