C# DateTime to “YYYYMMDDHHMMSS” format

Question

I want to convert a C# DateTime to "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" format. But I don't find a built in method to get this format? Any comments?

Answer 1

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss"); // case sensitive

Answer 2

You've practically written the format yourself.

yourdate.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss")

• MM = two digit month
• mm = two digit minutes
• HH = two digit hour, 24 hour clock
• hh = two digit hour, 12 hour clock

Everything else should be self-explanatory.
