  • C# : Converting DateTime to format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ

    I found that lots of people were searching to convert the datetime into the universal format. Following can be used for the same.

    myDateTime.ToString(“u”)

    OR

    string strDate = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString(“yyyy’-‘MM’-‘dd’T’HH’:’mm’:’ss’Z’”, DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);

    The custom format string is “yyyy’-‘MM’-‘dd HH’:’mm’:’ss’Z’”.

  • Regex for AlphaNumeric password validation

    Regular Expression for validating the string

    (?!^[0-9]*$)(?!^[a-zA-Z]*$)^([a-zA-Z0-9]{8,20})$

    The above RegEx requires at least one digit and at least one alphabetic character. It does not allow special characters. The length must be from 8 to 20 characters.

  • Salesforce : Converting DateTime to format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ

    I spend lots of my time finding a solution for converting the datetime into the format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ) so that it can be used in SOQL query.  SOSL query returns the datetime in format(YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ) so for comparison one need to convert it into that format.

    System.debug(DateTime.now().format(‘yyyy-MM-dd\’T\’hh:mm:ss\’z\”));

    I hope this will save your time. 🙂
