Formatting a datetime

[Eric Stott]

I need to take System.DateTime.Now and have the resulting text be in the
following format:
yyyyMMddhh24mmsss
I am using System.Convert.ToString(System.DateTime.Now), but I need to
format it correctly, what is the easiest way to accomplish this?

Eric,

I assume by

yyyyMMddhh24mmsss

What you really mean is four digit year, two digit month, two digit day,
two digit hour (in military time), two digit minute, two digit second (I
dont know what the third s is for). All digits will have a trailing zero,
if necessary.

Your pattern is:

yyyyMMddHHmmss

Hope this helps.

 

[Eric Stott]

Yes that is the pattern.

Eric,

I assume by

yyyyMMddhh24mmsss

What you really mean is four digit year, two digit month, two digit
day, two digit hour (in military time), two digit minute, two digit second
(I dont know what the third s is for). All digits will have a trailing
zero, if necessary.

Your pattern is:

yyyyMMddHHmmss

Hope this helps.

I guess Nicholas meant to say you have to use:

System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss") ;
