Question How to convert date

[raysefo]

Hi,


I have a date like this 2/25/2011 but I would like it 25/2/2011. How can I do it?


Thanks in advance.


Best Regards

You could use the .ToString method with a format string.
datevariable.ToString("dd/MM/yy")

An alternative is to use the format function.
Format(datevariable, "dd/MM/yy")

Are you certain that this is a good idea?

Dates are dates - if they are stored as dates (!! not strings) they will be happy.

Users are users - they like to see and type dates the way they are used to doing it - you should not impose your personal preferred date format on your users, let them see and type dates in their Windows Regional Settings format and they will be happy.
