C# - Get XElement.Value in a custom datetime format

Here is my problem:

I have a XElement storing a DateTime, and I want to get the Value property returning the DateTime in a custom format.

I was wondering if there is a way to include a IFormatProvider 开发者_开发知识库in the XElement.

I think you are mixing things here. The XElement always stores its value as a string. To get a custom date format, you need to convert this string into a DateTime object first and then call ToString with the format you want to have.
