Hello!!!

I am trying to convert datetime to a suitable format but it's not working. It's showing me same date after formatting. I am trying using this

VB

Dim retirement As String = day.ToString() + " - " + month.ToString() + " - " + DateOfRetirement.Year.ToString()
           Dim DOR As DateTime = Date.Parse(retirement)
           DOR = DOR.ToString("D")
           table.Rows(count)("DateOfRetirement") = DOR

But it shows me this as result

10/31/2037 12:00:00 AM

i also tried using

DOR.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy")

but it shows the same result

Your coding:

VB

Dim DOR As DateTime = Date.Parse(retirement)

It's natural that after parsing the date-time will be converted in Slandered UTC format. And it'll store like that only. You can change the data-type of your column as string and then you can customize the format easily.
Try this:

VB

'After changing the data type of the column
table.Rows(count)("DateOfRetirement") = DOR.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

try to concatenate your DateTimeString using "//" or Better:

C#

DateTime DOR = new DateTime(day, month, DateOfRetirement.Year);

(Dim DOR as DateTime = new ... or something like this in vb.net)

And Afterwards save the ToString() value in a String, not a DateTime!

C#

String s = DOR.ToString();

(Dim s as String = DOR.ToString or something like this in vb.net)

at the end assign the string to the table cell.
