Datetime Custom Formats
C# not only has the ability to display built-in DateTime formats but also display custom formats using DateTime format components. A component is a string that represents a certain part a date. For example, M represents a month number (1-12) and H represents an hour in 24 hour format.  
  


For the complete list, check the table below:
  
Suppose if the date is declared as  
DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 8, 7,9,30,15); (year,month,day,hours,minutes,seconds)
  
 Then the result of each of custom date format specifier is
