If you already have it as a DateTime  use   string x   dt ToString  yyyy-MM-dd      See the MSDN documentation for more details  You can specify CultureInfo InvariantCulture to enforce the use of Western digits etc  This is more important if you re using MMM for the month name and similar things  but it wouldn t be a bad idea to make it explicit   string x   dt ToString  yyyy-MM-dd   CultureInfo InvariantCulture     If you have a string to start with  you ll need to parse it and then reformat    of course  that means you need to know the format of the original string
