C# DateTime to “YYYYMMDDHHMMSS” format

Question

I want to convert a C# DateTime to \"YYYYMMDDHHMMSS\" format. But I don\'t find a built in method to get this format? Any comments?

Answer 1

I am surprised no one has a link for this . any format can be created using the guidelines here:

Custom Date and Time Format Strings

For your specific example (As others have indicated) use something like

my_format="yyyyMMddHHmmss";
DateTime.Now.ToString(my_format);

Where my_format can be any string combination of y,M,H,m,s,f,F and more! Check out the link.
