I’m getting data from a stored procedure and wonder which is the easiest way to convert DateTime (or date) to string?
recipes.Add(new Recipe
{
RecipeId = reader.GetInt32(recipeIdIndex),
Name = reader.GetString(nameIndex),
Date = reader.GetDateTime(dateIndex), //Date is a string
});
The best way to convert date to string is not do it at all.
If you have to store date time as strings use
DateTime.ToString("o")or ISO8601 format.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ttt")as SynXsiS suggested.Make sure you know if date is in local or UTC time – you may need to adjust values before displaying to a user.
