Hi, how can I convert a DateTime structure into the XML date type format?

i.e.

DateTime curDate = DateTime.Now;
????

into the string format:

yyyy-mm-dd

string s =
curDate.ToString("Whatever_Valid_Format_You_Need__See_VS_Documenytation_For_Formatting");

Or:

string s = XmlConvert.ToString(curDate)

That would be of this format, though: "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffffzzzzzz".
That's the format used by WS and DataSet.

Best regards,

Ilya

Try

curDate.ToString("s");
