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

你们把事情搞得太复杂了。重要的是,停止使用ToString,开始使用字符串格式,比如string。支持字符串格式的格式或方法,如Console.WriteLine。下面是这个问题的最佳解决方案。这也是最安全的。

更新:

我用当前c#编译器的最新方法更新了示例。条件操作符和字符串插值

DateTime? dt1 = DateTime.Now;
DateTime? dt2 = null;

Console.WriteLine("'{0:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}'", dt1);
Console.WriteLine("'{0:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}'", dt2);
// New C# 6 conditional operators (makes using .ToString safer if you must use it)
// https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/null-conditional-operators
Console.WriteLine(dt1?.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"));
Console.WriteLine(dt2?.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"));
// New C# 6 string interpolation
// https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/tokens/interpolated
Console.WriteLine($"'{dt1:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}'");
Console.WriteLine($"'{dt2:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}'");

输出:(我在里面放了单引号,所以你可以看到它返回为空字符串时为null)

'2019-04-09 08:01:39'
''
2019-04-09 08:01:39

'2019-04-09 08:01:39'
''

其他回答

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")

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>.

    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)
                   : (String.IsNullOrEmpty(defaultValue) ? String.Empty : defaultValue);

        return ToString(source, null, provider, defaultValue);
    }

    public static string ToString<T>(this T? source, IFormatProvider provider)
                                     where T : struct, IFormattable {

        return ToString(source, null, null, null);
    }
}

我喜欢这个选项:

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

c# 6.0宝贝:

dt2 ? . ToString(“dd / MM / yyyy”);

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;
    }
}
