What is dto.Value type?

Can you elaborate "the red line"? What error the compiler is giving when you build the project?

Solution 1

You must use "yyyy-MM-dd" for me below code is working fine as you expected:

C#

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
string formatedDate = dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

And for more have a look on below link with many sample code snippets:

I just update to MM...and verified in a console app. I updated the answer too. Hope it will help you.
