Tom,
I don't understand what you are trying to do. The representation of a
DateTime structure in .NET is just that, an instance of the DateTime
structure.
If you want to get that date in a string that is formatted that way,
take the string that I posted, and then pass it into the ToString method,
like this:
// Get the current date/time in the string format we desire.
string pstrFormattedDateTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("M/D/yyyy h:m:s tt");

Hi,
I replaced DateTime.Now with DateTime.Now.ToString(). But,
the date is same as before.
Could you teach me how to get the M/D/yyyy h:m:s tt format
from that date string?
Thanks for help
Tom

Tom,
When using the ToString method on the DateTime
structure, you can usethe following format string to get the format that you
wish:
M/D/yyyy h:m:s tt
If you want to have a leading zero for any of the
arguments (month, day,hour, minute, second), then double up the format
character for that section.
Hope this helps.

I use DateTime.Now to display the current date and time. For instance, it's default format is 2003-10-29 21:23:36.
How can I change the format as follows?
10/29/2003 9:23:36 PM
MM/DD/YY HH/MM/SS AM/PM
Thanks for help
Tom
