Format DateTime Returns 0

[hvdbovenkamp]

Hi there,

I'm stuck with a problem formatting a datetime value:


Dim thisdate As DateTime = #10/15/2005#
Me.Label1.Text = Format(thisdate, "mm/dd/yyyy").ToString

Returns 00/15/2005
setting the month to 00 instead of 10

I must be doing something wrong, for I don't find any mentioning of this problem.

I use VB.NET Visual Studio 2003

Any help is more then welcome !

mm is for minutes, MM is for months Also you might find thisdate.ToShortDateString will do the same (and will return the string correctly for the current locale).

In your code the .ToString isn't needed as Format() returns a string anyway.
