C# format date

Sie Ste

In a C# 2008 application, I will obtain the current date by using the statement:

DateTime.Now;

I want to read from a file that is in part of the directory path of:

mm_dd_yy. Or in other words the format is: 09_27_12.

Thus can you tell me how to change the date obtained from datetime.now and make it look like: 09_27_12?

You can do:

string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM_dd_yy");
