Datetime Formatting With String.format
Sep 23, 2010
I have a table in my SQL DB that is a DateTime table, what I want to do is take the numeric datetime it stores and convert it to a long date (i.e. 12/12/2012 conversts to December 12, 2012). Seaching the forums it looks like the string.format is the way to go and searching for info on that I found [URL] which lists all the different formats but they do not list a formating string to convert to the format I want to use. Does anyone know what format string I would use to convert a numeric date to a long date like I want? And can you show it in a code example because I am not 100% sure I understand the code examples shown on that site.

In a simple ASPX page, I have an SqlDataSource and a DataList control bound to it.It shows 3 columns; UserName, DateTimeStamp, and Comment.The database table has these defined as nvarchar(24), datetime, and nvarchar(80).The UserName and DateTimeStamp are shown in the ItemTemplate as Labels, while the Comment is a multiline TextBox.I have an event handler for the OnTextChanged for the Comment so that I can update the table as soon as the user tabs off the TextBox.I use the UserName and DateTimeStamp as the Primary Key, and pass all 3 to a stored procedure, where the parameters are declared the same types as the table.What I'm getting though is an "Input string was not in the correct format", which can only be the DateTime that I am passing.
I've tried different date/time formats, but so far come up empty as to the one that will actually work from the C# code.All the different formats I've tried work fine if I pass them to the SP directly via Management Studio, but all throw an error when I use
SqlDataSource.UpdateParameters.Add("DateTimeStamp", System.Data.DbType.DateTime, lblDateTimeStamp.Text);

I have this example and it gives me exception "Conversion from string x to dateTime is invalid"
here is my method to validate Datetime.
Example Date string : "27/03/1985"
Public Function validateDateColumn(ByRef FieldName As String) As Boolean
Try
If IsDate(FieldName) Then
Dim actualDate As DateTime = CDate(FieldName)
Dim DtLicExp As DateTime = CDate(actualDate.ToString("d", Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture))
FieldName = DtLicExp.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
Return True
End If
Catch ex As Exception
'FieldName &= "Format must be MM/dd/yyyy"
Return False
End Try
End Function
validate this date string formate to datetime.
I want to convert this date "27/03/1985" to datetime.

I've been googling for a while now and for the life of me can't seem to find a solution. I thought this would be easy but it's taking too long and am turning to stackoverflow.
I need to convert a string which contains a date and time to a DateTime variable. I've formatted the string in the exact format I want to store it in but when i convert it to a DateTime it keeps adding the seconds which I don't want. I want it stored as 01/01/2010 09:00AM. Here's the code I've been using so far:
DateTime.ParseExact(startTime,"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mmtt", null);

I inherited some project which uses crystal reports. The datasource for startdate is in string format but I would like to make it up so that the time does not get added. Should I change the sql query somehow or can I make from the object in crystal reports (IFieldObject) to something more manageable.

Just looking for some strategies to modify the typical
mm/dd/yy 00:00:00 to simply
mm/dd/yy of a datetime item being returned in a dataset that is bound to the gridview
the item is within a dataset and I am simply doing the following
gridview.DataSource = GetDataSet();
gridview.DataBind();
So I don't have a ton of interaction with the dataset at the moment. I could brute force iterate through it and do something like
foreach(Table)
foreach(Row)
grab date Col, format and concat to look as desired
but this is very messy and was wondering if there is a more elegant solution.

I am having trouble formatting the date on a textbox I get the error above if I don't enter the date in MM/DD/YY format in the textbox. I am also using this in a FormView so I can't format it or don't know how to in the code behind so if there is a way to format it in design view that would be preferable. Does anyone have any ideas on how I would do any of this.
<asp:TextBox Text='<%# Bind("BIRTH_DATE", "{0:d}") %>' Font-Names="Tahoma"
Font-Size="X-Small" ToolTip="MM/DD/YYYY" ID="txtBirthDate" runat="server"
TabIndex="2" CssClass="style5"></asp:TextBox>

I have the following date in string format "2011-29-01 12:00 am" . Now I am trying to convert that to datetime format with the following code:
DateTime.TryParse(dateTime, out dt);
But I am alwayws getting dt as {1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM} , Can you tell me why ? and how can I convert that string to date.
EDIT:
I just saw everybody mentioned to use format argument. I will mention now that I can't use the format parameter as I have some setting to select the custom dateformat what user wants, and based on that user is able to get the date in textbox in that format automatically via jQuery datepicker.

I created a UserControl and added a public DateTime property. I want to set this property in Markup (ie. <cc1:MyControl runat="server" id="MyControl1" DateTimeProp="1/1/2010" /> ) however I live in a place with a dd/mm/yyyy date format so it complains if I set something like "20/1/2010". Is there a way to set markup in my local datetime format or do I have to conform to "mm/dd/yyyy"?

On UI Ajax calendar control is used to allow the user Expiry Date as shown below. As this is one of the controls in search, when the Search button is pressed using SQL statement (copied below) data is retrieved from ExpiryDate column of the table. The table creator declared the column type as string and the dates are saved as single digits(Example: 2/2/10 sometimes and sometime as double digits (Example: 02/02/10) I like to know the best practice in retrieving both type of strings from database table. Calendar control

I want to show just a part of a string for example:
Instead: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua."
Just a: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing..."
Which method can I use to do that?

I need to format this date time into the format Day/Month/Year on the same template field.
I am avoiding doing this under SQL server because that will mean changing my data type in my dataset to string instead of data time which i do not want.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Publish Date" SortExpression="PublishDate">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("PublishDate") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("PublishDate") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I'm bulding document-from-template engine. At certain points I need to match on Reg Exp groups and replace template text with content from a db.
I 'hardcoded' my RegExp initially, doing something like: Regex r = new Regex(@"{DocSectionToggle::(?<ColumnName>w+)::(?<ResponseValue>.+)}[[(?<SectionContent>.+)]]", RegexOptions.Multiline);
it does group capture, so the syntax isn't the prettiest.
Just to make things neater and because I want' to keep the patterns in web.config or elsewhere, I've 'evolved' algorithm to something like:
[code]...
But I'm getting an error: 'Input string was not in correct format'.
Is this a limitation of string.Format(...)?
