I want to parse Datetime.Now into formatted string like
"2016-09-01T02:00:12.7011585Z"

You can't parse DateTime.Now. It already returns a DateTime, not a string.
You can generate it's string string representation using yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.fffffff'Z' format with a proper culture like InvariantCulture;
DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.fffffff'Z'", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

I have a string: "20180830" which represents 30 august 2018
I want to go to string: "30/08/2018"
So that I can do: DateTime parsedDate = DateTime.Parse("30/08/2018"); and have a DateTime instead of a string,
Tried everything but didn't succeed.
Needs some help.
You can use the DateTime.ParseExact-Method to solve your problem. Therefore you need to specify the exact format which would be yyyyMMdd in your case. Also the documentation suggests to use CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.
The following code...
DateTime datetime = DateTime.ParseExact("20180830", "yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
...should do the trick ;-)

Parsing a integer using DateTime.ParseExact [duplicate]

How do I convert an Excel serial date number to a .NET DateTime?
(4 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I am trying to parse a integer(like 43392) to a date time.
The code looks like this:
DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact(item[11], "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
wher item[11] is "43392".
This throws an System.FormatException error, string was not recognized as a valid Datetime.
Need some guidance on this.
This should work
DateTime dateTime = DateTime.FromOADate(43392);
Output
19/10/2018 12:00:00 AM
DateTime.FromOADate Method (Double)
Returns a DateTime equivalent to the specified OLE Automation Date.

How can I format DateTime to web UTC format?

I'm trying to convert my DateTime to the following format:
ex.:
2016-01-13T11:11:11Z
But ToString("u") gives 2016-01-13 11:11:11Z
I need the letter T also between date and time. Is there a way to accomplish this?
You can supply the T directly in the format like this:
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ"));
This will give you the T and Z you are looking for.
You can replace the space with a T:
date.ToString("u").Replace(' ','T');

I have a lot of data with timestamps in the following format: 20150603005845. I need to parse this and turn it into 2015/06/03 00:58:45 AM. I know I can convert it into a string and break it up and parse it the hard way but I was wondering if there are any inbuilt classes that can help me achieve this. I'm new to C# and don't know if there are any methods that can help me do this. Any help will be appreciated!
Parse date:
var date = DateTime.ParseExact("20150603005845", "yyyyMMddHHmmss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Format date:
string formattedDate = date.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss tt");

i have this string "1/20/2015 12:00:00 AM" and i need to convert in something like this "20/1/2015" without time and days first.
DateTime mydate = Convert.ToDateTime(myDateFromDB);
To convert date string of format "dd/MM/yyyy" to DateTime, should used DateTime.TryParseExact where you can specify the date format string to let the converter know about the Culture.
To get the Date alone, use myDateTimeObj.Date.
