You can not keep date format when converting to DateTime . This guy saves a date. Score. To be more precise information from a point in time. It has the date and the time.
If you want it in a specific format to present it somewhere, you will convert it to string , because many formats can only be obtained with texts, and string in> is the type for text. In practice even in simple formats (something like "30012015"), it will also be a string . No matter where you use this information.
You can use DateTime.Parse() to convert. But I almost always prefer TryParse() . . It generates no exception if the data is invalid.
DateTime data;
var dataFormatada = "";
var resultado = DateTime.TryParse("30/01/2015", out data);
if (resultado) {
dataFormatada = data.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
}
