I am unable to get date result in dd/mm/yyyy format when I add some days to
getdate(). I tried using:

string updateSql1 = "UPDATE txfile " + "SET expiry_dt=getdate() + 180 ";

Can anyone help me out to get result in dd/mm/yyyy.

your update command is wrong. correct may be
string updateSql1 = "UPDATE txfile " + "SET expiry_dt=DateAdd(dd,180,getdate())";

Solution 3

SQL

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE()+ 180, 103) as [dd-MM-yyyy]  --> dd/MM/yyyy
--OR--
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE()+ 180, 105) as [dd/MM/yyyy]  --> dd-MM-yyyy

Underlined portion is optional
Happy Coding!

I must admit I've never seen the + 180 like this. Could you expand or provide a link as to what it does there?
