Convert string to custom date format - c# razor -

i have mysql database storing events , events have dates. i'm pulling in event dates , they're outputting in html strings.

<ul id="latest-events"> @{ ientity[] latestevents = viewbag.latestevents; foreach (ientity event in latestevents) { <li class="item"> <span class="event-date"> @event["displaydate"] </span> <a href="#">@event["title"]</a> <span class="teaser">@html.raw(event["teaser"])</span> </li> } } </ul>

currently, format "10/31/2014 12:00:00 am"

i prefer oct 31 believe mmm d format.

is possible?

var mydate = event["displaydate"]; var oldformat = "m/d/yyyy h:m:s"; var newformat = "mmm d"; var newdate = mydate.oldformat.convertto(newformat);

just clear, don't know c# why above convertto not possible. possible convert string using datetime?

you should able utilize razor phone call conversion:

@item.date.tostring("mmmm dd, yyyy")

another approach:

[displayformat(dataformatstring = "{mmmm 0:dd yyyy")] public datetime date { get; set; } @html.displayfor(d => d.date);

you do, datetime.parseexact.

var date = datetime.parseexact(odate, format, cultureinfo.invariantculture);

another option, hope helps.
