How do I get a dattime format in C# that will look like this:

Question

2011-09-01 00:00:00:000
This works
DateTime saveNow = DateTime.Now;

string test = String.Format("{0:yyyy-MM-01 00:00:00:000}", saveNow);

Now I want to know this. How would I subtract one month from the current month?

It T-SQL it would look like this

trying the addmonth method with a negative one did not work

This worked fine when I tried it just now: DateTime dt = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1); Console.WriteLine({0:yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00:000} dt); producing the expected output of : 2011-08-22 00:00:00:000
