Datetime Question

[Luke Davis]

Is there a way to format the date into an YYYY:MM:DD format?

Right now January, for example, is equal to 1, instead of 01. Is there a
way, besides writing a long if/then, of formating all single digit dates to
prefix a 0?

So January 1, 2001 would look like 2001-01-01, not 2001-1-1.

Thanks,

string formattedDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
