DateTime.ToShortDateString

[ad]

I want to transfer a DateTime variable to string.
I use DateTime.ToShortDateString() to do that.
But if the date is 2006 May 23, I want to it transfer to 2006/05/23, not
2006/5/23.
How can I do?

ToShortDateString will use the system short date format which must be
yyyy/d/mm on your system.
You could change this to yyyy/dd/mm or call ToString("yyyy/dd/mm").

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd");

You can pass in a format to ToString() on the Date:

---8<---
DateTime.Today.ToString("yyyy/M/d")
--->8---
