I am trying to format a DateTime object as mmddyyyy and NOT mm/dd/yyyy. What
is the easiest way to do this?

Never mind... found the pattern ("MMddyyyy") .

(I was using "mmddyyyy")

Use the ToString overload and pass the format required in it.

Eg:
dt.ToString("mm ddyyyy"); or
dt.ToString("dd-mm-yy");

That is what I was attempting but found a nuance... mmddyyyy formats as
minute, day, month. The correct format is MMddyyyy.

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;

System.Console. WriteLine(strin g.Format("{0,2: 00}{1,2:00}{2,0 4:0000}",dt.Day ,dt.Month,dt.Ye ar));
