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.
