Is there a toString function in K#?

Yang Wen asked on February 11, 2016 21:53

This code works fine {% TrimStart("2016",2) %} for returning "16"

However this doesn't work {% TrimStart(DateTime.CurrentDateTime.Year,2)%}

Even though there is no mention in the document, I assume .Year is returning a non string type, which causes TrimStart to fail.

How do I convert the return value of DateTime.CurrentDateTime.Year to string? Or how do I return a custom formatted year value from CurrentDateTime.Year such that I get "16" instead of "2016" ?

This seems like a very basic server-side thing to do.. Can't figure out how to do it with K#. Thanks

Check this out: https://docs.kentico.com/display/K9/Reference+-+Macro+methods Search for the ToString method. You may have to play around with the usage, I have done it before, and remember it being difficult to figure out.
