The DateTime is a structure which is numeric.  Below is a string that represents a DateTime and it is dependent on the current culture.

28-09-2018 00:00:00

Use the standard DateTIme formats to output a DateTime string in the format you want.

nDaysAgo.ToString("g");

Hi neerajkumarmodi,

According to your description, I suggest that you could use the String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt}", date) function to format your date.

For more details, you could refer to the code below.

            DateTime days = DateTime.Today.AddDays(0);
            DateTime nDaysAgo = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-10);
            string daysformat = String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt}", days);
            string nDaysAgoformat = String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt}", nDaysAgo);
            Response.Write("days:" + daysformat);
            Response.Write("<br/>");
            Response.Write("nDaysAgo:" + nDaysAgo);

output:

Best Regards,
