C# 2010 session variable

Question

In a C# 2010 web application I would like to know how to convert a session variable that is in a date time format to a string value that displays in a textbox on the web application. I would like to only obtain the date part of the value. I have tried lots of versions that look like the following: Date1.Text = Session[Date1].ToString(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss); How would you setup this code so the value is acutally set correctly for the textbox?

First convert the session[Date1] object to DateTime type and then do the formatting. Session[Date1] = System.DateTime.Now; TextBox1.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(Session[Date1]).ToString(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss); Hope this resolves your problem.
