Date format task in C #

Question

Hi, I am working with a simple C # application to display the system date time.

textbox.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"); 

but it shows the result as: 05-12-2010

What is the problem with this code? or I need to change any place in the regional settings of my car.

Thank you

Answer 1

"/" is the locale time and time separator. I suppose that

 DateTime.Now.ToString(@"MM\/dd\/yyyy"); 

will do what you want.

Answer 2

You may need to specify the desired culture, as formatting will use the current culture:

 textbox.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); 

Answer 3

 DateTime dt = new DateTime(2008, 3, 9, 16, 5, 7, 123); String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", dt); // "03/09/2008"
