Date Time conversion

Question

Hi  I am converting MM/dd/yyyy date to yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss using dateobject.ToString( yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss ). Its converting perfectly in given format but in MM-dd-yyyy format there is no hour specified and hour is appearing in this yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss format . For e.g. date is 05/07/2009 i.e. 7 May 2009 and after converting to yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss format date is appearing as 2009-05-07 12:00:00 . From where this 12 is appearing ? We don't want this 12 . The date should display like 2009-05-07 00:00:00. Please suggest solution. Thanks Prasad

It's just struck me that the problem here is that you're using the 12 hour clock (hh format). If you change to the 24 hour format (HH) then it should get rid of the 12:00:00 i.e. dateobject.ToString( yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss ).

See if using dateobject. Date. ToString(yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss) gets rid of the hour.
