    Changing a DateTime format --- please help!

    Hi,

    Hope that you can help me with this. I'm calling DateTime.Now and
    storing in a DateTime container. I see that the pattern format is: m/
    dd/yyyy

    I need it to be in the format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:SS as type DateTime
    but I don't know how to do this! Can anyone help me please? Any
    comments/advice/suggestions/code-sampels much appreciate.

    Cheers,
    Al.

      As others have said, if you are converting to a string representation of the
      date, use ToString(). There is a whole heap to think about here though
      including globalisation (if the application is not for a particular
      local-region-only solution).

      I have put together an article on DateTime manipulation that includes
      information on standard formats and "Picture" formatting at
      http://www.blackwasp.co.uk/CSharpDateManipulation.aspx.

          As has been suggested, one way is to use ToString() with the appropriate
          format specifiers.
