I have a DateTime variable (default formatting), and I would like to format it to a format to I receive from a string parameter.
I normally do something similar to: {myDate:yyyy-MM-dd}, and it works properly.
Now I have a lot of possible date formats and need to format according to the chosen one.
I have tried the following but returned garbage (ae0aor0aa):
string testFormat = "yyyy. MM. dd.";
{myDate:testFormat }
I have also tried to convert the date to string and back to date with ParseExact, but gave me an invalid date exception. NB: the date in myDate is valid, as I have checked it with the debugger.
Can you kindly advise?
Thanks to apc, it was easily solved by myDate.ToString(testFormat)

Im trying to convert a U.K. input date (dd-MM-yyyy) to format (yyyy-MM-dd)
I tried
"#formatDateTime('15-03-2019','yyyy-MM-dd')" ==> Error
but got error:
'In function 'convertTimeZone', the value provided
for date time string '15-03-2019' was not valid. The datetime
string must match ISO 8601 format.'
How do I go about converting this input date? The input format is (dd-MM-yyyy) and cannot be changed.
I can easily convert from (MM-dd-yyyy) as shown below, but im not able to convert from (dd-MM-yyyy)
"#formatDateTime('03-15-2019','yyyy-MM-dd')" ==> OK
Date and time functions provided by azure logic app cannot recognize the timestamp in dd-MM-yyyy format.
After my research, there is no existing function that can directly solve this problem, but you can use substring and concat to deal with this problem.
The workflow of the logic app looks like this:
The expression of the formatDataTime:
formatDateTime(concat(substring(<your-date-string>,6,4),'-',substring(<your-date-string>,3,2),'-',substring(<your-date-string>,0,2)),'yyyy-MM-dd')
Can't format the below date using moment.js, the below statement returns Invalid Date
moment('20171206T062406927Z').format('D-MMM-YYYY');
Please help me on this.
You need to tell moment which format your date string is in:
moment('20171206T062406927Z', 'YYYYMMDD[T]HHmmssSSSZ', true).format('D-MMM-YYYY');
Edit: updated as per #VincenzoC comment to ensure the timestamp is parsed in UTC
Also fix: use HH for 24-hour format (not hh), and pass a third true parameter to ensure the timestamp is parsed in strict mode.
I have the following line of code in C#:
DateTime dtReportDate = Convert.ToDateTime(_ReportDate);
The _ReportDate is an string variable and it's value is: 21/05/2013 (dd/MM/yyyy). So I try to convert that date to a DateTime variable and the do the following:
_ReportDate = string.Format("{0:yyyy/MM/dd}", dtReportDate) + " " + _ReportHour;
As you can see I need to concatenate the date and hour in the format: yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm.
When running those lines of codes locally it works OK. But, when I put it in a Dev server it throws the following error: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
So, I would like to ask a couple of questions. Does this error could be related with any configuration of the server? Why the Convert.ToDateTime works OK locally but in the server it doesn't?
Any clue would be fine
Thanks
I have figure out how to solve this problem executing the following line of code:
//Attempts to Parse the Date using the format specified (the third parameter can also be null)
DateTime dtReportDate = DateTime.ParseExact(_ReportDate,"dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Hope this help others
My problem: I need to get date format as "mm/dd/yyyy"
Scenario:
I have declared DateBirth as nullable DateTime.
The value I get when I use:
AdvancedObj.DateBirth .Value.ToString()
is: "13/03/2013 00:00:00"
The value I get when I use
AdvancedObj.DateBirth .Value.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
is :"03/13/2013 00:00:00"//This is roughly correct but, I do not need 00:00:00
I have tried this as well, but the format is correct and value is incorrect.
AdvancedObj.DateBirth.Value.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy",CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-Us"))
**"13/00/2013"**
Can anybody point me, what am I missing?
Use the right format string for months - it is MM. mm is for minutes:
AdvancedObj.DateBirth.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
Also, order them correctly as above - if you want months before days, use MM/dd/yyyy, if the other way around, dd/MM/yyyy.
I suggest you take a good long read of Custom Date and Time Format Strings on MSDN.
Month are 'M'. 'm' is for minutes.
"dd/MM/yyyy"
I want to convert dateformat to mm/dd/yyyy. Whatever dateformat is coming in textbox, I want to convert it into mm/dd/yyyy.
First you need to get it into a datetime object. The most common standards work via:
DateTime x = DateTime.Parse(txtDate.Text);
If you expect a freaky format, you still have to know what format it is:
DateTime x;
DateTime.TryParseExact(txtDate.Text, "YYddd", out x);
Then simply output the data:
string date = x.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");
But you really need to enforce your formatting using regex, validators, scout's honor - something.
see MSDN for full details.
You will need to parse the input to a DateTime object and then convert it to any text format you want.
If you are unsure what format you may be getting, maybe it is a good idea to restrict the user to a single format (using validation or better yet a date picker).
