C # DateTime format

I have some code that displays the date in a text box as shown below.

textField.Text = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();

It is displayed as

03/11/2011

Does anyone know how I can format here to show it as

03/11/11

Thanks in advance

Yes. Look at this Date and Time page .

Or: theDate.ToString("dd/MM/yy")

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy")

:

string strFormat = "dd/MM/yy";
textField.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString(strFormat);

, , , "M" , "" "m". :

  • MMM:
  • MM:
  • ddd: WEEK
  • d: MONTH
  • HH: 24-
  • mm:
  • yyyy:

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy")

But you need to remember that it is ToShortDateString()sensitive to culture, returning different lines depending on the regional settings of the computer - above this is not so.

You can change the settings on your computer, in Windows 7, you will find the short date format under Region and Languagethe control panel.

Here is an alternative if you don't like formatted strings.

var fp = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB");
textField.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString(fp.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern);
