How to get Hours and Minutes as two digits with leading zero from DateTime object?

I'm trying following code formulate the file path:

var filePath = $"{DateTime.UtcNow.Year}/{DateTime.UtcNow.Month}/{DateTime.UtcNow.Day}/{DateTime.UtcNow.Hour}/{DateTime.UtcNow.Minute}/{Guid.NewGuid()}";

But it's not returning always two digits from hours, minutes, etc. I want path like "2021/04/07/02/04"

Use .ToString() i.e. for hour use DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("HH");

DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("hh:mm") // for non military time
DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("HH:mm") // for military time (24 hour clock)

Using hh will do a leading 0. Same with mm for minutes will do a leading zero. If you want seconds, you can use ss.

  • MM - Month with leading 0
  • M - Month without leading 0
  • dd - Day with leading 0
  • d - Day without leading 0
  • yyyy - 4 Digit year
  • yy - 2 Digit year
  • HH - Military Hour with leading 0
  • H - Military Hour without leading 0
  • hh - Hour with leading 0
  • h - Hour without leading 0
  • mm - Minute with leading 0
  • m - Minute without leading 0
  • ss - Second with leading 0
  • s - Second without leading 0

You can refer to DateTime.ToString()
