Hi

I have at an itemtype that uses a DateTime field, and I want to output the date in a certain format - ie. I want it to say 25. November, and not 25-11-2015 13:10:00

For the time being, I am fetching the value like this to a variable

string dato = GetValue("Item.Date").ToString();

and output it as @dato

But whatever i have tried to format it, it won´t work.

 

As you migth notice, I am not an experienced razor C# specialist, so be gentle and thorough thank you :)

regards Hans

Hi Hans

You can use format specifiers (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx):

string dato = GetValue("Item.Date").ToString("d MMMM");

Also you can get a real date object from DW by using GetDate instead of GetValue.

Pefect thank you Thomas :)

GetValue would not work with formatting, but changed it to GetDate and the formatting works perfectly :)
