How to use ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")

Hello

How do I use ToString in the code below (should be used on the "date")?

<div class="blog-content">
    <div class="title">
        <span>@news.GetProperty("date").Value</span>
        <h2><a href="single-post.html"></a>@news.GetProperty("headline").Value</h2>
    </div>
    <p>@news.GetProperty("description").Value</p>
</div>

I have tried this with no luck:

<div class="blog-content">
    <div class="title">
        <span>@news.GetProperty("date").Value</span>
        <h2><a href="single-post.html"></a>@news.GetProperty("headline").Value.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")</h2>
    </div>
    <p>@news.GetProperty("description").Value</p>
</div>

Thanks in advance!

Hi René

Isn't it the wrong property you are trying to format? I guess the property "headline" isn't a datetime..?

Try with the date property:

<div class="blog-content">
    <div class="title">
        <span>@news.GetProperty("date").Value.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")</span>
        <h2><a href="single-post.html"></a>@news.GetProperty("headline").Value</h2>
    </div>
    <p>@news.GetProperty("description").Value</p>
</div>

Hi Dennis

Thanks!

I solved the problem with some minor changes in the code see below:

<divclass="blog-content">
    <divclass="title">
        <span>@news.date.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")</span>
        <h2><ahref="single-post.html"></a>@news.headline</h2>
    </div>
    <p>@news.description</p>
</div>

Hi Bjarne

Sorry I made some changes from my original code before i posted it here and by i mistake I put in the ToString command the wrong place.

Hi René

I'm glad you solved it.. please mark the right answer as solution :)

Perhaps this is just a typing mistake, but I think you want to wrap anchor tag around the news headline?

Then it should be:
```
<div class="blog-content">
    <div class="title">
        <span>@news.date.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")</span>
        <h2><a href="single-post.html">@news.headline</a></h2>
    </div>
    <p>@news.description</p>
</div>
```
