C Sahrp Date Time Functions

Aniket Narvankar

I want current system date in c sharp in this format,

28-SEP-2018,so I write the following code

string Day = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.Day);

string Year = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.Year);

string month = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM").ToUpper();

string date = Day + "-" + month + "-" + Year;

It is giving me date in required format.Is there any other way this could be done in C Sharp? Before this I used this code

string currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");

but it give me output as 24-08-2018

Hi Aniket,
string currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy").ToUpper();

The only thing to change is MM to MMM string currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy"); @Rafnas is correct

I would recommend to use the stardard formats and for some here is an extensive libraray
