How to convert DateTime object to dd/mm/yyyy in C#?

Answer 1

One thing to note in addition to the other answers - / is a format character itself, representing the local date separator. If you want to make absolutely sure it uses an actual slash, either use the invariant culture (which uses a slash):

string s = dateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

or escape the slashes:

string s = dateTime.ToString("dd'/'MM'/'yyyy");

Answer 2

Are you talking about converting to a string for printing or something?

String s = DateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

And to be complete, here is more information about DateTime.ToString and DateTime formatting in general.

Answer 3

DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
string s = d.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
Console.WriteLine(s);
