如何在dateTime中转换字符串日期？

Question

I have date in string format. I want to convert in date time in following format. I have referred few links but didn't get exact output.

String date = "03-23-16"; //MM-dd-yy

Requirement: it should be in date format like "March 23, 2016"

Can anybody suggest me how to convert this?

Answer 1

You could convert it to DateTime by using, say, DateTime.ParseExact and then convert it back to string using format "MMMM dd, yyyy" :

String date = "03-23-16"; //MM-dd-yy note that MM here
DateTime dtInstance = DateTime.ParseExact(date, "MM-dd-yy", null); //this is how you convert string to DateTime
string newDate = dtInstance.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy"); //this is how you convert it back with format as you want

Also, note that mm is minutes format in C# DateTime while MM is months .

Answer 2

try this:

string date = "01-08-2008";
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("24/01/2013", "mm-dd-yy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

parse to string:

dt.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy");

Answer 3

DateTime.ParseExact("03-23-16", "MM-dd-yy", null).ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy")

Answer 4

You could convert it to Long Date Format by using ToLOngDateString()

 string date = "03-05-16";
 date = date.Replace('-', '/');
 DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(date);
 string newDate = dt.ToLongDateString();

it will print :March, 03, 2016.
