Hi friends,

i need to convert Date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy
Here my code:

XML

<div class="span6">
  <label id="lblLiveUntil" runat="server">News Live Until</label>
  <asp:TextBox ID="txtDateTo" CssClass="span4 datepicker" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
 </div>

so datepicker is a jquery.
it return date format as "mm/dd/yyyy"
but database accept only dd/mm/yyyy format

I need to convert this format(from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy)
and insert into database in startdate field(which is also in datetime format)

Regards

Lalitha

Solution 4

you can achieve this by create common function and get datetime object and based on object you can get any format as you wish

DateTime expextedDate = GetFormatedDate("11/28/2013");
string expextedFormat = expextedDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

private DateTime GetFormatedDate(string currentformatdate)
{
    string[] dateparts = currentformatdate.Split('/');
    DateTime expextedDate = new DateTime (Convert.ToInt32(dateparts[2]), Convert.ToInt32(dateparts[0]), Convert.ToInt32(dateparts[1]));
    return expextedDate;
}
