Question

I want to remove separater from Date

System.DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()

returns mm/dd/yyyy as 4/13/2012. then how can i remove '/' from the string.

I am converting date string to int32 as:

Convert.ToInt32(System.DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().Trim(new char[]{'/'}));

but trim does not trim the character between the string.

Any another better suggestion to do this will be appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

try this:

string dateSeparator = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.DateSeparator; 

Convert.ToInt32(System.DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().Replace(dateSeparator, ""));

Edit: As per @Tim comment
Another way is use the DateTime.ToString() Patterns

Convert.ToInt32(DateTime.Now.ToString("MMddyyyy"));
