Custom formating : Datetime, string

This is most of the time sufficient when you need to format date/time.

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy | hh:mm tt");

many times you need to convert string to Datetime and there might be some issues related to Regional settings, so in those cases an easy example is

DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("11/16/2009 7:51:45 PM", new CultureInfo("en-US"));

==========

If you want to display string upto some decimal places always, do this

int tempInt = 24;
string tempStr = tempInt.ToString("D3");

Convert total seconds into hour, minute and second

Many time we need to convert total seconds to Hour, Minute,second format. Here is a simple implementation.

int totalSecondsInt, tempH, tempM, tempS;
decimal totalSecondsDec = Convert.ToDecimal(totalSecondsInt);
tempH = Convert.ToInt32(totalSecondsDec / 3600);
tempM = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(((totalSecondsDec / 3600) - Convert.ToInt16((totalSecondsDec / 3600))) * 60));
tempS = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(totalSecondsDec % 60));
