c# - DateTime.Today.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy") returns invalid DateTime Value

Question

I am trying to get todays date in GBR format but,

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy");

returns with the value of 08/00/2013

So 00 in the month group was returned instead of returning the month 04.

Any ideas why this happened?

Answer 1

Lower mm means minutes, so

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");  

or

DateTime.Now.ToString("d");  

or

DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()

works.
