Do you mean "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" - or are you asking for the method call - if so that's pretty damn lazy! — James Gaunt, Jul 25 '11 at 22:49
Looks like you're pretty close to the right format string in your question title, +/- some capital/lowercase. — John, Jul 25 '11 at 22:52
@James Gaunt - Not being lazy. I wanted to verify. So, do not be a jerk. — Michael Kniskern, Jul 25 '11 at 22:57
@Merlin - I did Google it and did not find a useful resource. Figure I would ask since this has always been a helpful resource. — Michael Kniskern, Jul 25 '11 at 22:59

here is a pretty good string formatting reference. for your question, you want something like this:

MyDateTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");

Thanks. I was not sure, just needed to verify – Michael Kniskern Jul 25 '11 at 23:03
Be careful as "hh" gives you hours in 12h format, not 24. – AlexL Dec 08 '19 at 14:06
