title: Xamarin Forms, how do I get the entered date from a datepicker to a format of your choice?
body: <p>It works fine for a user when they use it, it is easy to work with (even though I would like to remove the year somehow) and that code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var DatePickerXamlName = selectedDate;
          DatePickerXamlName.Format = "ddd, d:e MMMM";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get the format to be the same when I put in the user entered info as a string? I have tried to do something like this but it is very messy and obviously not working;</p>
  
  <pre><code>App.ourDates = selectedDate.Date.ToString();
  App.ourDates = selectedDate.Format = "ddd, d:e MMMM";
  </code></pre>
