Hello

You Can use

System.DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();

it gives your system Short Date time thats why it would give you.

1/15/2013

if you change your System or server time setting than it will give you write Time As you Want and either case you can simple use

lbldate.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

Solution 1

If you use a standard format, the result depends on the culture that is set for the machine executing the code (which I suspect will be the Server in your case, not the Client). If you want a specific data format, then you need to specify exactly what you want:

C#

lbldate.Text=System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

And the Culture will be ignored.

There is a list of the format strings here: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]

For example, System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy"); please see:

You can also use the particular culture with this date format:
