Key points to remember during DateTime conversion in c#.

In this blog article I am given some important tips for conversion of DateTime in c#. If we want to convert datetime in string format like (dd/MM/yyyy) then most of us write code as like.

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

Some times we found that output is like 7-8-2015. However our supplied conversion format is dd/MM/yyyy.
The / character in DateTime format strings stands for "whatever the date separator of the format provider is". Since We do not supply a format provider Thread.CurrentCulture is used, and in your case the current culture uses . as the date separator.

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd'/'MM'/'yyyy");

Another way, we can specify a format provider where date separator is /

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
