Format DateTime in C#
Solution 1:
visitDate.Value.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
Assuming visitDate is a DateTime.
Solution 2:
you have to use:
visitDate.Value.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
Solution 3:
string.format is valid but the parameter order you use are invalid:
DateTime? visitDate = null;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(visitDate == null ? "" : String.Format("{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}", visitDate));
visitDate = DateTime.Now;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(visitDate == null ? "" : String.Format("{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}", visitDate));
That should do the trick.
