DateTime now = DateTime.Now; // { for Feb 9, 2006 }
string test = now.ToString("mm");
And I get 42 ?? what does this mean ?

For
string test = now.ToString("yyyydd");
test = "200609" ..
but
string test = now.ToString("yyyymmdd");
test = "20064209" .. I was expecting 20060209

You are getting the MINUTES portion of the date/time.

ToString expects mm for Minutes and MM for Month :)
