Date and Time formats in asp.net using C#,VB.Net | Convert date time formats ~ Asp.Net,C#.Net,VB.Net,MVC,jQuery,JavaScipt,AJAX,WCF,Sql Server example

Introduction: In this article i am going to explain with example list of different date and time formats/types available in asp.net using both C# and VB.Net language.

Description: In previous related articles i explained How to Get age in years,months,days,hours and seconds from DOB in asp.net C#,Vb.Net and Formatting Date in GridView and Get current date in dd/mm/yyyy format and Date format in sql server and How to Convert Rupees,Currency or Numbers to Words.
It is very common in asp.net application or any other application to show date and time in various formats as per application requirement. There are so many different datetime formats/type available that can be used as per application requirement.Some of them are custom date and time formats. So this example will be helpful for those who are searching for datetime formatting and converting date and time format to one format to another e.g. dd/MM/yyyy to MM/dd/yyyy and in any other.

Implementation: Let's see the different formats with example.I have listed many date time formats that will be useful for developers.
