Convert.ToString Method (DateTime)
Converts the value of the specified DateTime to its equivalent string representation.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.DateTime
The date and time value to convert.
This implementation is identical to DateTime.ToString(). It uses the formatting conventions of the current culture and the "G" format specifier to convert a DateTime value to its string representation.
The following example converts each element in an array of a DateTime value to a String value.
DateTime[] dates = { new DateTime(2009, 7, 14),
new DateTime(1, 1, 1, 18, 32, 0),
new DateTime(2009, 2, 12, 7, 16, 0) };
string result;
foreach (DateTime dateValue in dates)
{
result = Convert.ToString(dateValue);
Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value {1} to the {2} value {3}.",
dateValue.GetType().Name, dateValue,
result.GetType().Name, result);
}
// The example displays the following output:
// Converted the DateTime value 7/14/2009 12:00:00 AM to a String value 7/14/2009 12:00:00 AM.
// Converted the DateTime value 1/1/0001 06:32:00 PM to a String value 1/1/0001 06:32:00 PM.
// Converted the DateTime value 2/12/2009 07:16:00 AM to a String value 2/12/2009 07:16:00 AM.
