You can Format time and date by using following code

using System;  
  
class MainClass {  
  public static void Main() {  
    DateTime dt = DateTime.Now; 
 
    Console.WriteLine("Time is {0:hh:mm tt}", dt); 
  } 
}

To convert a string-based date to a System .DateTime object, you can use the Convert.ToDateTime(String) method or the DateTime.Parse static methodthod.

Eg.

// Date strings are interpreted according to the current culture.
// If the culture is en-US, this is interpreted as "January 8, 2008",
// but if the user's computer is fr-FR, this is interpreted as "August 1, 2008"
string date = "01/08/2008";
DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(date);            
Console.WriteLine("Year: {0}, Month: {1}, Day: {2}", dt.Year, dt.Month, dt.Day);

// Specify exactly how to interpret the string.
IFormatProvider culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR", true);

// Alternate choice: If the string has been input by an end user, you might 
// want to format it according to the current culture:
// IFormatProvider culture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.Parse(date, culture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AssumeLocal);
Console.WriteLine("Year: {0}, Month: {1}, Day {2}", dt2.Year, dt2.Month, dt2.Day);

/* Output (assuming first culture is en-US and second is fr-FR):
    Year: 2008, Month: 1, Day: 8
    Year: 2008, Month: 8, Day 1
 */

Console.WriteLine("{0}/{1}/{2}", DateTime.Now.ToString("dd"), DateTime.Now.ToString("MM"), DateTime.Now.ToString("yy"))
