Format("xxx", "yyy") works in VB.Net because the Microsoft.Visua lBasic
Runtime is referenced. You could also referece this from your C# project
which would then let you use the same Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Strings. Format()
method (which is exactly what you are doing with Format() in VB.Net).

A better alternative in my mind (since it'll work in both C# and VB.Net with
no additional work) is to simply use
calender.select edData.ToString ("dd/yyyy")

The date is automatically displayed in format, "mm/dd/yyyy" on the ASP page, but it is accepted only in another format, "dd/mon/yy". I want to make it consistent. How can I force it to accept the date in format "mm/dd/yyyy"? The second option would be to force it to...

Hi all, I'm creating a project that should always use this date format when displays the dates or create dates. The back end database is a SQL Server and I like to know what is the logical way to configure server, sql server or program so it always deals with date as mm/dd/yyyy format. Thanks in advance. Roy

How can I change for a while in the project the date format in vb.code ( not in Windows) and how can I find out which date format the PC Windows is using. Thanks for any response

I am trying to get a UK format date of dd/mm/yyyy. Why does the following subroutine not return a valid date in a web form? The date returned is #12:00:00 AM# but the date I entered into the text box was 24/06/2006. The other solution I have tried is given by the following two lines that do not compile because a value of date type cannot be converted to datetime:

I apologise if this post seems a little basic, but I am a newbie and have NO access knowledge. I have downloaded the Accounts Ledger from the Microsoft Website. It allows the user to review a report of transactions between a Start & End date. The Tables and forms i believe are UK format "dd/mm/yyyy", However, when I click on "Review Reports" and enter the date as UK "dd/mm/yyyy", it returns nothing.

Hello all, General question for back-end database that has numerous date fields where the database will be used in regions that put the month first, and regions that do not. Should I save a date format in the table design, such as: mm/dd/yyyy? What I've done for years is to store the date format in date fields, then on the forms, based on their region, I would set the date formats on form_load
