Answer 1

DateTime, numeric types and most other types do not store their values in a formatted way. Rather they store their data using a binary representation. If you want to display this data to the user, you must convert it to a string. This conversion involves formatting the data.

string formattedDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy",
                                             CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Or

Console.WriteLine("Date = {0:dd/MM/yyyy}", DateTime.Now);

Console.WriteLine converts the date into a string in order to write it to the console.
