Hi, my name is Mauricio Junior, and today I will show you many options that you can see the format dates using the C# language. I've been working in many companies around the World, Europe, North and South America, and it is very important to format the date based on the country.

You can see more about my course on plataforma.academy and there I can teach you more about the language C# https://plataforma.academy/cursos/category/10/programacao and many other languages.

The format date and time can be used on mobile, desktop, api, console, and web application without any issue.

Format

DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") => 05/29/2025

DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy") => Friday, 29 May 2025

DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy") => Friday, 29 May 2025 05:50

DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy") => Friday, 29 May 2025 05:50 AM

DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy") => Friday, 29 May 2025 5:50

DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy") => Friday, 29 May 2025 5:50 AM
