c# 2012 Format date from List
How do I format the date in this scenario? The format string doesn't work and I've tried others.
string sDate = list[x].StartDate.ToString
sDate = String.Format("{0:ddd, MMM d, yyyy}", sDate);
Thanks!
string sDate = list[x].StartDate.ToString
sDate = String.Format("{0:ddd, MMM d, yyyy}", sDate);
Thanks!

How do you display it? In what control; perhaps via a message box?
You can try something like this.
DateTime thisDate1 = new DateTime(2011, 6, 10);
Console.WriteLine("Today is " + thisDate1.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy") + ".");
for exact answer please share what you are getting in string sDate
which will help us to understand what is required
DateTime thisDate1 = new DateTime(2011, 6, 10);
Console.WriteLine("Today is " + thisDate1.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy") + ".");

Here is what worked, and your solution prompted me to try it this way:
string sDate = String.Format("{0:ddd, MMM d, yyyy}", list[x].StartDate);
Before, I was converting StartDate .ToString() first, which didn't work:
string sDate = String.Format("{0:ddd, MMM d, yyyy}", list[x].StartDate.ToString
Thank you all for your input!
string sDate = String.Format("{0:ddd, MMM d, yyyy}", list[x].StartDate);

Just use ToString() directly on the StartDate as alluded to by Pratima Pharande in the previous post back here.
With your format it would look like this:
