Format date

[simon]

I have date="11.6.2004"(today) and I would like to format it as: 20040611

How can I do that?

Thank you,
Simon

You can always Use DatePart and build your own string but extracting Year,
and Month and Day separate

Dim MyNewDate as String = DatePart(DateInterval.Year, MyDate) &
DatePart(DateInterval.Month, MyDate) & DatePart(DateInterval.Day, MyDate)

Dim d As Date
Dim s As String()

s = "11.6.2004".Split("."c)
d = New Date(CInt(s(2)), CInt(s(1)), CInt(s(0)))
MsgBox(d.ToString("yyyyMMdd"))
