我喜欢这个选项:

Console.WriteLine(dt2?.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss") ?? "n/a");

试试这个尺寸:

您希望格式化的实际dateTime对象在dt中。Value属性，而不是dt2对象本身。

DateTime? dt2 = DateTime.Now;
 Console.WriteLine(dt2.HasValue ? dt2.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss") : "[N/A]");

您可以使用dt2. value . tostring ("format")，但当然这需要dt2 != null，这首先就否定了可空类型的使用。

这里有几个解决方案，但最大的问题是:您希望如何格式化空日期?

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

最短的回答

$"{dt:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}"

测试

DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Now;
Console.Write("Test 1: ");
Console.WriteLine($"{dt1:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}"); //works

DateTime? dt2 = DateTime.Now;
Console.Write("Test 2: ");
Console.WriteLine($"{dt2:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}"); //Works

DateTime? dt3 = null;
Console.Write("Test 3: ");
Console.WriteLine($"{dt3:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}"); //Works - Returns empty string

Output
Test 1: 2017-08-03 12:38:57
Test 2: 2017-08-03 12:38:57
Test 3: 

简单的通用扩展

public static class Extensions
{

    /// <summary>
    /// Generic method for format nullable values
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns>Formated value or defaultValue</returns>
    public static string ToString<T>(this Nullable<T> nullable, string format, string defaultValue = null) where T : struct
    {
        if (nullable.HasValue)
        {
            return String.Format("{0:" + format + "}", nullable.Value);
        }

        return defaultValue;
    }
}
