Question

In my system the date format is set as YYY-MM-DD format.So my c# application will take this format when i call DateTime.Now which is fine.

Now in installed my application as service using Install util command.

After running services it gets the date format as dd/mm/yyy.
But i want to save the format as yyy-MM-DD format in database.

Whether i need to change my code or i can set this format in system.

because already the regional settings are done in yyy-mm-dd format only.

This problem happens only when I install my application as a service.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use the DateTime formatting:

 DateTime.Now.ToString("yyy-MM-dd");

That will get you:

yyy: The year (same as yyyy), e.g. 2011
MM: The month number (single digit is formatted with leading zero)
dd: The day number (single digit is formatted with leading zero)
