How to show dates in yyyy-MM-dd format

Hi,

I have installed VS.NET 2000 on an english version of
windows 2000 professional and in control panel I've chosen
Regional Options and on the general Tab I have Swedish in
Your locale(location ). In the Input Locales tab I have
Swedish as the only language and set as default. In the
Date tab short date is showed as yyyy-MM-dd and is showed
in all applications in a correct way.

I also have a production server with an english version of
windows 2000 professional with identical settings as
described above in the Regional Options. There is .Net
Framework v1.1 installed, swedish version (also tried with
english version).

Althoug this all dates in all forms are shown in

'MM-dd-yyyy' format.

Several popup forms with dates on them doesn't work
anymore and noone in this country will accept this format.

Any ideas?

TIA

The ToString() method of the DateTime object can be used to format dates.
So, you could use MyDateTime.ToSt ring("yyyy-MM-dd").

For further info on the ToString method of the DateTime object, see this
article on MSDN -

Hope this helps,

Hi Mun,

Yes it helped.

Although I used another method

Format(Ctype(my Date,Date),"yyy y-MM-dd")

in all textboxes, in grids I used TemplateColumns instead
of BoundColumn

This problem seems to occur dependant on the computer system settings. I have no issues when the system date is set as M/d/yyyy but I do have a problem with the system date set as d/M/yyyy. I have a text box on a web page that holds the date ie) document.frmTimesheet.tWeekFrom.value = 19/12/2004 theDate = new Date(document.frmTimesheet.tWeekFrom.value); // split into day, month, year

I know this is a very common issue but cannot find a thread that resolves the issue. I need to re-format my dates to "MMM d, yyyy". The problem I have is I have an MSSQL database that allows <NULLS>. I'm using this code to format the dates: <%# IIF((dsCase.FieldValue("inj_beg", Container) <> nothing),DateTime.Parse(dsCase.FieldValue("inj_beg", Container)).ToString("MMM d, yyyy"), "") %>

Hi.. I need to run some monthly reports that requires the user to pick a date (MMM-YYYY) from a drop down list. How can I list the dates (MMM-YYYY) in the combo box such that it would automatically include the current month, the last three months and the next three months? For example, the current month is Oct 2007, the combo list should list Jul 2007, Aug 2007, Sep 2007, Oct 2007, Nov 2007, Dec 2007 and Jan 2008. Cheers! Clarence
