Date Conversion Question

[melegant]

Is there a simple way to convert

10/11/2003

to

October 11, 2003

ThANKS!

This method will get you very close to what you want:

datevariable.ToLongDateString()

 

[melegant]

I had tried that and it still returned a short date (which threw me).

..>Maybe I did something wrong let me try again. For know I set up a function to translate the date.now.month.tostring to a String rep. (the day and year are already numbers )

I believe the .ToLongDateString works based on your regional settings - check under control panel to see what the lond date format actually is.

You mean it still returns 10/11/2003?
To me it returned:
Saturday, October 11, 2003

Dim dt As DateTime = New DateTime(2003, 6, 26)
dt.ToString("MMMM dd yyyy")
