C# Format DateTime ddMMMyy

Question

Is there a way to format DateTime into the following String in C#?:

29JUN91

I cant find anything online that allows us to write the month in short string form.

Have a look at MSDN for custom date formating

DateTime input = new DateTime(1991, 6, 29); //29JUN91
string result = input.ToString("ddMMMyy").ToUpper();

Try to use ToString("ddMMMyy")

DateTime.Now.ToString("ddMMMyy"); // case sensitive

use .ToUpper(); if you want to convert month in upper case.
