Format a date to include english date suffix
Hi,
Can anyone tell me the correct parameter to format a date with english date suffixes in c#. (e.g 3rd February) I can't seem to find a decent example from seraching the net. Many Thanks

There is no built in function for that. Basically the best way to do it is to write something yourself to pump out the suffix, then format the date/time string accordingly.

I wrote the following code to do exactly this...
Code:
// Use "~" for English Date Suffix
public static string CustomDateFormat(string format, DateTime date)
{
string[] arr = format.Split('~');
string suffix = GetDateSuffix(date);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
sb.Append(string.Format("{0:" + arr[i] + "}", date));
if (i < arr.Length - 1)
{
sb.Append(suffix);
}
}
return sb.ToString();
}
public static string GetDateSuffix(DateTime date)
{
string day = date.Day.ToString();
if (day.EndsWith("1"))
{
return day.StartsWith("1") && date.Day != 1 ? "th" : "st";
}
else if (day.EndsWith("2"))
{
return day.StartsWith("1") ? "th" : "nd";
}
else if (day.EndsWith("3"))
{
return day.StartsWith("1") ? "th" : "rd";
}
return "th";
}
You can use it as follows: Code:
CustomDateFormat("dddd d~ MMMM yyyy", DateTime.Now)
