Hello,
I am just learning C# and I have ran into a problem that I cannot seem
to resolve. I need to capture today's date, subtract a day, and then
put it into the MM-DD-YYYY format. I know how to do one or the
other, but i cannot figure out how to do both. Here is my code
snippet:
DateTime Date1 = System.DateTime .Now.AddDays(-1);
string Day = System.Convert. ToString(Date1. Day);
string Month = System.Convert. ToString(Date1. Month);
string Year = System.Convert. ToString(Date1. Year);
string Logs = "log" +Year+Month+Day +"*.xml";
I need the string logs to be yesterdays date and have leading zero on
the month.
Any help would be appreciated! 4 10802
Andrew,
You can use a custom format string to generate the date. You want to do
this:
// Get the datetime (btw, your code to do this is right).
DateTime Date1 = System.DateTime .Now.AddDays(-1);
// Store the log string.
string Logs = string.Format(" log{0:yyyyMMdd} *.xml", Date1);
Notice that you can place the formatting string along with the
placeholder.
Hope this helps.

Thank you! That worked perfectly and the code is a lot cleaner than before.
Thanks again!

I know that given a FormatString and a DateTime you can use
DateTime.ToString(...) to convert the DateTime to a String. My question is
how can you turn that around? Given a String and a FormatString, how can
you convert the String back to a DateTime? DateTime.Parse(...) doesn't use
the FormatString.
Now admitedly, if the format string is just "MM", it can't be done. But if
the format string is "yyyyMMdd", or "ddMMMyyyy hhmmsst", it...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
