DateTime.ToString() Method in C#


The DateTime.ToString() method in C# is used to convert the value of the current DateTime object to its equivalent string representation.

Syntax

Following is the syntax −

ToString(String, IFormatProvider)
ToString()
ToString(IFormatProvider)
ToString(String)

Example

Let us now see an example to implement the DateTime.ToString() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      DateTime d = new DateTime(2019, 11, 11, 7, 11, 25);
      Console.WriteLine("Date = {0}", d);
      string str = d.ToString();
      Console.WriteLine("String representation = {0}", str);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Date = 11/11/2019 7:11:25 AM
String representation = 11/11/2019 7:11:25 AM

Example

Let us now see another example to implement the DateTime.ToString(String) method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      DateTime d = new DateTime(2019, 11, 11, 7, 11, 25);
      Console.WriteLine("Date = {0}", d);
      string str = d.ToString("f");
      Console.WriteLine("String representation = {0}", str);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Date = 11/11/2019 7:11:25 AM
String representation = Monday, November 11, 2019 7:11 AM
