.NET DateTime to String

Question

Is there a easy way to convert a DateTime object to a string representation like this '2010-03-03 10:38:48'.

I'm not sure what the above format is but it is different from the patterns obtainable via ToLongTimeString() etc.

Is this a case for string builder?

Answer 1

Like this:

date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")

If you want 24 hour time, replace hh with HH.
