How to change the GetTime() format?

03-04-2024, 04:27 AM

Hi

I am using the function ChartBars.Bars.GetTime(ChartBars.Count) to get the full date.

It return a format like: 04/03/2024 6:00:00 (day/month/year)

How could I get a format like: 2024/03/04 6:00:00 (year/month/day) ?

Hello ninjo,

Are you asking how to print the date in a different format? The DateTime object represents a specific time and that would not have a format applied to it, the way it is output for prints would be based on your systems clock settings. If you wanted to make a string that has a different format you can specify the format in the ToString() method.

Learn to use custom date and time format strings to convert DateTime or DateTimeOffset values into text representations, or to parse strings for dates & times.
