I want to convert 'yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss' format like 17/07/18 06:30:20 to Jul.18, 2017 06:30:20 in c#. What is the best way to do that?

  • @mxmissile MS have a new one, i think it is a better one - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings – Bakudan Jul 18 '17 at 17:46
  • Are you starting with a `string` or a `DateTime`? `DateTime` does not _have_ a format, it only gets one when you _display_ it, so it's not clear from the question what you're starting with (and the answer will be different) – D Stanley Jul 18 '17 at 17:49
  • Sorry for the bad title but the answer given by Aman worked for me. Thanks to all. – Fresher coder Jul 18 '17 at 17:55

You can use DateTime.ParseExact as shown below:

DateTime.ParseExact("17/07/18 06:30:20", "yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss", 
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture
).ToString("MMM. dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss");
