C#: Display the DateTime value in the formatted output

C# Sharp DateTime: Exercise-1 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program to extract the Date property and display the DateTime value in the formatted output.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

public class Example1
{
    // Main method, entry point of the program
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Creating a DateTime object with specific date and time values
        DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(2016, 6, 8, 11, 49, 0);
        Console.WriteLine("Complete date: " + dt1.ToString()); // Display complete date and time

        // Get the date portion (without time) from the DateTime object
        DateTime dateOnly = dt1.Date;

        // Displaying the date-only portion using "d" format specifier
        Console.WriteLine("Short Date: " + dateOnly.ToString("d"));

        // Displaying the date using 24-hour clock format
        Console.WriteLine("Display date using 24-hour clock format:");

        // Displaying the date and time in short format using "g" format specifier
        Console.WriteLine(dateOnly.ToString("g"));

        // Displaying the date and time in a custom format with 24-hour clock
        Console.WriteLine(dateOnly.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm"));
    }
}

Sample Output:

Complete date: 6/8/2016 11:49:00 AM                                                                           
Short Date: 6/8/2016                                                                                          
Display date using 24-hour clock format:                                                                      
6/8/2016 12:00 AM
