DateTime Today ToString  MM dd yy     Look at the docs for custom date and time format strings for more info    Oh  and I hope this app isn t destined for other cultures  That format could really confuse a lot of people    I ve never understood the whole month day year thing  to be honest  It just seems weird to go  middle low high  in terms of scale like that

DateTime Today ToString  quot MM dd yy quot   Look at the docs for custom date and time format strings for more info   Oh  and I hope this app isn t destined for other cultures  That format could really confuse a lot of people    I ve never understood the whole month day year thing  to be honest  It just seems weird to go  quot middle low high quot  in terms of scale like that    Others cultures really are a problem  For example  that code in portugues returns someting like 01-01-01 instead of 01 01 01  I also don t undestand why    To resolve that problem i do someting like this          IFormatProvider yyyymmddFormat   new System Globalization CultureInfo String Empty  false           return date ToString  quot MM dd yy quot   yyyymmddFormat

See  here you can get only date by passing a format string  You can get a different date format as per your requirement as given below for current date   DateTime Now ToString  M d yyyy         Result    9 1 2016    DateTime Now ToString  M-d-yyyy         Result    9-1-2016    DateTime Now ToString  yyyy-MM-dd         Result    2016-09-01    DateTime Now ToString  yyyy-MM-dd hh mm ss         Result    2016-09-01 09 20 10    For more details take a look at MSDN reference for Custom Date and Time Format Strings
