Hi everyone,

I have developing a project with asp .net (c#) and i have problem with the date-time objects.
I have many records in ms-sql with dates, i am trying show that dates in a web page in this 24-hour format (not AM or PM). But i cannot do that.
I was change server's regional options to 24-hour format but it did not work.

Is there a way to change this format in a code(c#) side ?

Thanks,

Don't touch your servers options: you want to display the date/time in the Clients preferred format if at all possible.
MSDN can help there: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb882561.aspx[^]

Or you can use DateTime.ToString as previously suggested - there is a list of all the available format codes here: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]

Ofcourse, here is example.

DateTime dt = System.DateTime.Now;
string strDate = dt.ToString("Date_Format_of_your_choice");

Actually i tried this,
string strDate = dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00");
It kind of work but, it shows the hour 08:00 if the morning, if it's evening again it shows the hour 08:00. This is not work for me, thanks.

You have to use "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" format.
HH gives 24 hour pattern whereas hh gives 12 hour pattern.
Try it.

Solution 2

Use DateTime.ToString[^]
like, yourDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss") (HH for 24 hours | hh for 12 hours)
