如何将可空的DateTime dt2转换为格式化的字符串?

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")); //works

DateTime? dt2 = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(dt2.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")); //gives following error:

ToString方法没有重载 一个参数

考虑到您实际上想要提供格式,我建议将IFormattable接口添加到Smalls扩展方法中,这样您就不会有讨厌的字符串格式连接。

public static string ToString<T>(this T? variable, string format, string nullValue = null)
where T: struct, IFormattable
{
  return (variable.HasValue) 
         ? variable.Value.ToString(format, null) 
         : nullValue;          //variable was null so return this value instead   
}

. datetime != null ?((DateTime)s.SendDateTime).ToString("HH:mm:ss"): null

iformatable还包括一个可以使用的格式提供程序,它允许IFormatProvider的两种格式在dotnet 4.0中都为空

/// <summary>
/// Extentionclass for a nullable structs
/// </summary>
public static class NullableStructExtensions {

    /// <summary>
    /// Formats a nullable struct
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="source"></param>
    /// <param name="format">The format string 
    /// If <c>null</c> use the default format defined for the type of the IFormattable implementation.</param>
    /// <param name="provider">The format provider 
    /// If <c>null</c> the default provider is used</param>
    /// <param name="defaultValue">The string to show when the source is <c>null</c>. 
    /// If <c>null</c> an empty string is returned</param>
    /// <returns>The formatted string or the default value if the source is <c>null</c></returns>
    public static string ToString<T>(this T? source, string format = null, 
                                     IFormatProvider provider = null, 
                                     string defaultValue = null) 
                                     where T : struct, IFormattable {
        return source.HasValue
                   ? source.Value.ToString(format, provider)
                   : (String.IsNullOrEmpty(defaultValue) ? String.Empty : defaultValue);
    }
}

与命名参数一起使用,你可以做到:

dt2。ToString (defaultValue: n / a”);

在旧版本的dotnet中,你会遇到很多重载

/// <summary>
/// Extentionclass for a nullable structs
/// </summary>
public static class NullableStructExtensions {

    /// <summary>
    /// Formats a nullable struct
    /// </summary>

    /// <param name="defaultValue">The string to show when the source is <c>null</c>. 
    /// If <c>null</c> an empty string is returned</param>
    /// <returns>The formatted string or the default value if the source is <c>null</c></returns>
    public static string ToString<T>(this T? source, string format, 
                                     IFormatProvider provider, string defaultValue) 
                                     where T : struct, IFormattable {
        return source.HasValue
                   ? source.Value.ToString(format, provider)

        return ToString(source, null, null, null);
    }
}
Console.WriteLine(dt2 != null ? dt2.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss") : "n/a"); 

编辑:如其他注释中所述,检查是否有一个非空值。

更新:如评论中推荐,扩展方法:

public static string ToString(this DateTime? dt, string format)
    => dt == null ? "n/a" : ((DateTime)dt).ToString(format);

从c# 6开始,您可以使用空条件操作符来进一步简化代码。如果DateTime?是零。

dt2?.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")

剃须刀的语法:

@(myNullableDateTime?.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") ?? String.Empty)

这里有一个更通用的方法。这将允许您对任何可空值类型进行字符串格式化。我包含了第二个方法,允许重写默认字符串值,而不是为值类型使用默认值。

public static class ExtensionMethods
{
    public static string ToString<T>(this Nullable<T> nullable, string format) where T : struct
    {
        return String.Format("{0:" + format + "}", nullable.GetValueOrDefault());
    }

    public static string ToString<T>(this Nullable<T> nullable, string format, string defaultValue) where T : struct
    {
        if (nullable.HasValue) {
            return String.Format("{0:" + format + "}", nullable.Value);
        }

        return defaultValue;
    }
}
