c# - While creating the directory I'm getting some sub directories instead? -

this code :

namespace testing {     public partial class form1 : form     {         private string contentdirectory = "";           public form1()         {             initializecomponent();              string[] filescontent = directory.getfiles(@"c:\windows\minidump\");                         string currentdate = datetime.now.toshortdatestring();             contentdirectory = path.getdirectoryname(application.localuserappdatapath) + "\\wm_" + currentdate;             directory.createdirectory(contentdirectory);         } 

what want in end directory name :

c:\users\bout0_000\appdata\local\testing\testing\wm_27-03-13

instead im getting :

c:\users\bout0_000\appdata\local\testing\testing\wm_\23\97\13

why ?

and how can format current date : 27-03-13 , not 27/03/13 ?

why ?

because date format of regional settings uses slashes separate parts. when concatenate file system path, subdirectories.

and how can format current date : 27-03-13 , not 27/03/13 ? instead / -

use datetime.now.tostring("dd-mm-yy")
