DateTime.Now issue

Question

User-131805334 posted

Hi All,

 I have used DateTime.Now in my asp.net program but the system keeps returning me the date of 20180701. I have checked the server date and time format and is correctly reflecting as 07/10/2018 and Region and Language:English(United States),Date format:M/d/yyyy.

Why is this so ? Will using DateTime.UtcNow has the same issue?

Thank You.

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd")

Hi,

  I did not set the format for the date. I am using DateTime.Now. I have migrated the same codes to the Testing and Production environment. The testing environment is giving me the correct date as 20180710 but not the Production. I have checked that the server 's date/time format is correct too.

Hi ros.work88,

As far as I know, the datetime.now is set to current date and time on this computer. 

Its value is your computer's system time.

I suggest you could firstly modify the date and time on the computer from control panel's date, then I suggest you could try to get the datetime.now again.

This will make the datetime.now's value changed.

Best Regards,
