Abdu, A DateTime instance knows nothing about formatting itself. It's just a long integer which represents the number of ticks (1 tick = 100 nanoseconds) which have occurred from Midnight on 1 January, 0001 until the date/time in question. When you try to convert a string to a DateTime - using DateTime.(Try)Parse or Convert.ToDateTime - certain formats will be automatically recognized and converted to the correct DateTime instance. If this isn't working correctly for you, then you can use DateTime.(Try)ParseExact instead which attempts to parse the string to a Datetime using the format which you specify: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w2sa9yss.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131044.aspx

Vulpes · Answer

To get that precise format, I'd use: string date = dt.ToString("dd-MMM-yy HH:mm");
