Question

The problem is that a specifier d represents at the same time a “Short date pattern” in Standard DateTime Format Strings and “the day of the month as a number from 1 through 31” in Custom DateTime Format Strings. The latter is what I actually need.

But if I use something like

String.Format("{0:d}", dt);  

I get a ShortDate (e.g. “3/9/2008”).

So how should I use d in order to get just the day of the month (e.g. “3”)?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think, that this is the easiest solution:

dateTime.Day.ToString()
