How to get current date in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format in ASP.NET ?

Might be worthwhile using the CultureInfo to apply DateTime formatting throughout the website. Insteado f running around formatting whever you have to.

CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat.SetAllDateTimePatterns( ...

or

CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd"; 

Code should go somewhere in your Global.asax file

protected void Application_Start(){ ...

var formatedDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

To ensure the user's local settings don't affect it

The ToString method on the DateTime struct can take a format parameter:

var dateAsString = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
// dateAsString = "2011-02-17"

Documentation for standard and custom format strings is available on MSDN.

<%= DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") %>

<%: DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString() %>

try ToString method for your desirer format use

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

OR you can use it with your variable of DateTime type

dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

where dt is a DateTime variable
