Im trying to get a text from a file into date format for a label.
What i currently have works great for a DateTimePicker however im wanting to now use a label to display the date rather than a DateTimePicker.
This is what currently works when getting the value to a DateTimePicker:
dateTimeMFR.Value = this.myKeyVault.MFRDate;
and this is what im attempting to make work in a label:
DateTimePicker myDate = new DateTimePicker();
myDate.Value = myKeyVault.MFRDate;
txtMFR.Text = myDate.Text;
Thanks for any help on the matter.
It depends on the format which you want to show the date in. If it should be default user format, then this:
txtMFR.Text = myKeyVault.MFRDate.ToString();
is sufficient.
You can also manually format DateTime as date or time by calling ToShortTimeString or ToShortDateString or combinations of them. Or you can provide one of the predefined string formats as explained here or here. For example:
txtMFR.Text = myKeyVault.MFRDate.ToString("T");
I don't understand why are you not just calling DateTime.ToString.
txtMFR.Text = myKeyVault.MFRDate.ToString();
If you want custom format, you can specify it like this
txtMFR.Text = myKeyVault.MFRDate.ToString("yyyy MMM dd HH:mm:ss");
First pick the format you would like to display it as:

Then do:
txtMFR.Text = myKeyVault.MFRDate.ToString([put your selected format here]);
label1.Text = dateTimePicker1.Value.ToShortDateString();
This will do it.

I'm currently getting the date from a standard month calendar and displaying it in the dd-mm-yyyy format. What I would like to do is make it so that when the date is grabbed along with the display it will also store the date in the format yyyy-mm-dd without the hyphens being present so for example today would be 20160511 and I was wondering how I could do this?
Are you using DateTime? Then you could do:
date.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
string date = DateTime.Today.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
when i assign the date to textBox of textmode= "date" ,it doesn't display and displays "mm/dd/yyy" although the textBox has the correct date in debugging and autopostBack is enabled .
DataTable dt= DepartMentDB.GetDepartmentById(ddlDepartment.SelectedValue.ToString());
string Managername = dt.Rows[0]["Dept_Manager"].ToString();
DateTime d = DateTime.Parse(dt.Rows[0]["Manager_hiredate"].ToString());
txtHiredate.Text = d.ToString("mm/dd/yyy");
You want "MM/dd/yyy" (notice the capital M. otherwise it would convert to minutes once its working). If it's still not working, use an invariant culture to force the conversion (since you are specifying the format directly). i.e.:
txtHiredate.Text = d.ToString("MM/dd/yyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
EDIT: Actually, it is because the textmode of date only support a specific format. Mainly yyyy-MM-dd or whatever the user specified in their culture settings. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/22747762/3419825
So either work with the text mode and go with yyyy-MM-dd, or remove the textmode, or use a framework like jQuery to add a mask
Cast your value to DateTime object
I am putting together a simple C# Windows Forms Application. I am setting my DateTimePicker control on load to the current DateTime, example "11/12/2013 9:49:49 AM". I then use this value in a query to my 400 system, but I am getting an error because the field I query against the DateTimePicker Controls value is in format 'YYYYMMDD'.
How do I format the value of my DateTimePicker Control to 'YYYYMMDD' to use it in my query?
Actually, if your control is named dtpDate, you should use something like this (using the Value property of the control):
string selectDateAsString = dtpDate.Value.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
You can easily format the datetime into a string like the one you want:
the_date_time.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
Post format your date:
string formattedDate = MyDateTime.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
if directly from the DateTimePicker control use:
string formattedDate = MyDateTime.Value.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
you need to get the DateTime value from the date time picker then do tostring() on that with the format.
string formateddate = dtpDate.Value.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
#Analytic Lunatic please look here for the error you are getting.. I think this will solve the issue you are having.
This worked for me...
string dt = dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd");
I have a JQuery date picker which puts the date into a textbox in format DD/MM/YYYY.
I am trying to store this in SQL Server 2008 which needs to accept the date as MM/DD/YYYY, how should I format the date to get this to work correctly?
This is the code to add a my parameter to the query, which causes an error as the day and the month are the wrong way round
TextBox fixtureDateTextBox = (TextBox)Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolderMenu").FindControl("datepicker");
SqlParameter fixtureDateParam = new SqlParameter("#fixtureDate", fixtureDateTextBox.Text);
Never, ever directly insert input text into a parameter as you're doing - it's the root cause of too many security vulnerabilities and holes. Parse the input into a DateTimeOffset object first (you can also use DateTime, but the Offset is better in general to use) by calling DateTimeOffset.Parse(...), then you can simply add it as a parameter without modifying it.
EDIT: I re-read your question, and realized that while the above isn't wrong, it does miss some important things that address your question. See this for how to configure the date picker to display an alternate date format from what it stores in an alternate field:
EDIT 2:
You'll want to parse your DateTime object using the overload which allows you to pass in an IFormatProvider instance.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.iformatprovider.aspx for an example of how to do what you're looking to do. Otherwise, DateTime.Parse('13/3/2013') will fail due to unrecognized format.
DateTime.Parse('13/3/2013', new CultureInfo("en-GB").DateTimeFormat) is what you want to do with the input box.
I agree with the other folks that you should be able to configure the JQuery picker format to begin with, but if you can't, this should do the trick:
TextBox fixtureDateTextBox = (TextBox)Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolderMenu").FindControl("datepicker");
DateTime fixtureDate = DateTime.Parse(fixtureDateTextBox.Text, new CultureInfo("en-GB"));
SqlParameter fixtureDateParam = new SqlParameter("#fixtureDate", fixtureDate.ToString(new CultureInfo("en-US"));
Try this:
TextBox fixtureDateTextBox = (TextBox)Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolderMenu").FindControl("datepicker");
DateTime date = DateTime.Parse(fixtureDateTextBox.Text);
SqlParameter fixtureDateParam = new SqlParameter("#fixtureDate", date);
Add in the namespaces section: using System.Globalization;
then parse your input date as follows:
string DB_Date = (DateTime.Parse(fixtureDateTextBox.Text)).ToString(new CultureInfo("en-US"));
DateTime UKDate = Convert.ToDateTime(datepicker.Text);<br>
string usDate= UKDate.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");<br>
SqlParameter fixtureDateParam = new SqlParameter("#fixtureDate", usDate);
i am creating a project .
i want to download the files from ftp .
i can download it but only by todays date in dateTimePicker1.
it only downloads systems date.
my code is
txtSelectedDate.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd");
dateTimePicke1.Value = DateTime.NoW;
can anyone say me how to download files by selecting date in dateTimePicker1 not by Current date.
thanks in advance.
Select a different date on the control "dateTimePicker1"
use the code below:
txtSelectedDate.Text = dateTimePicker1.Value;
or
txtSeletedDate.Text = dateTimePicker1.Value.ToShortDateString();
DateTimePicker allows you to change the date you are using and you should not use DateTime.Now, you shall assign the selected date to your text property.
I believe what you are looking for is the DateTime.ParseExact command, like so:
DateTime.ParseExact(MyString, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm tt", null);
If you assign that to your dateTimePicker1 you will be able to give it any date.
