C# Datetime

How do I show the month in the MM format?

For example,

            DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
            int month = DateTime.Now.Month;

This shows the month as 5 but i need it as 05.

Thanks!

If you need leading zeroes you need to use a formatted string instead of an int:

string month = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM"); // MM = month with leading zero

Or

string month = DateTime.Now.Month.ToString("00");

Or

string month = DateTime.Now.Month.ToString().PadLeft(2, "0");
