I'm retrieving data from the database in a dataset and printing it in a pdfdocument. One table has got a DateTime column and the value comes as "12/27/2018 12:00:00 AM"
. I'm trying to format that as dd/MM/yyyy
but with no success since it is expecting a DateTime and formatting return a string value. Should I change the column datatype or there is a way to maintain it and format the datetime?
I recommend changing the database from string to DateTime. But if you cannot you can use something like this
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
DataTable dt2 = dt1.Clone();
//change columns type
dt2.Columns["Col A"].DataType = typeof(DateTime);
int colNumber = dt2.Columns.IndexOf("Col A");
foreach (DataRow row in dt1.AsEnumerable())
{
object[] rowData = row.ItemArray;
rowData[colNumber] = DateTime.Parse(row.Field<string>("Col A"));
dt2.Rows.Add(rowData);
}
