Format date function in .NET
Is 开发者_StackOverflowthere an inbuilt .NET date formatting function to return a date in the format:
3rd April 2010
It's the "rd" bit that I cannot recollect whether there is a formatting option.

Don't think there's a built in way. But it's fairly easy to copy/paste one from a blog post:
Protected Function FormatPostedTimeWithDayNumberSuffix(Optional ByVal format As String = "MMMM d{0}, yyyy") As String
Dim dateTime As DateTime = Date.Parse(Entry.PostedTime)
If Not Null.IsNull(dateTime) Then
Dim formatTime As String = dateTime.ToString(format)
Dim day As Integer = dateTime.Day
Dim dayFormat As String = String.Empty
Select Case day
Case 1, 21, 31
dayFormat = "st"
Case 2, 22
dayFormat = "nd"
Case 3, 23
dayFormat = "rd"
Case Else
dayFormat = "th"
End Select
Return String.Format(formatTime, dayFormat)
End If
Return Entry.PostedTime
End Function
I'm afraid you have to do it yourself. In C# it would be something along these lines:
if (dt.Day == 1) strdate = dt.ToString("dd") + "st";
else if (dt.Day == 2) strdate = dt.ToString("dd") + "nd";
else if (dt.Day == 3) strdate = dt.ToString("dd") + "rd";
else if (dt.Day == 21) strdate = dt.ToString("dd") + "st";
else if (dt.Day == 22) strdate = dt.ToString("dd") + "nd";
else if (dt.Day == 23) strdate = dt.ToString("dd") + "rd";
else if (dt.Day == 31) strdate = dt.ToString("dd") + "st";
else strdate = dt.ToString("dd") + "th";
Thanks all - I suspected as much but never good idea to rely on memory. There is no inbuilt function / formatting option for this requirement so you have to roll your own.
Cheers, Rob.
