DateTime 1

[sand133]

hi,

I have a string "2002-11-02 16:26:04.203".

How to do i format this to to mm/dd/yyy, THis is getting use everywhere in my app, so a common easy function was be nice.
I know in VB it was easy FormatDate...
any ideas

thanks

sorry this needs to be strongly typed to a DateTime format.

You could write your own function and use a regex:

string input = "2002-11-02 16:26:04.203";
string output;
//4 year date
output = Regex.Replace(input,@"(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})(.*)","$2/$3/$1");
Console.WriteLine("output mm/dd/yyyy: " + output);
//2 year date
output = Regex.Replace(input,@"(\d{2})(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})(.*)","$3/$4/$2");
Console.WriteLine("output mm/dd/yy: " + output);

Forgot the output:
output mm/dd/yyyy: 11/02/2002
output mm/dd/yy: 11/02/02

DateTime somedate = DateTime.Parse("2002-11-02 16:26:04.203");

somedate.ToString("MM/dd/yyy hh:mm:ss");
