How to format a date?

[ZippyV]

Hello everybody ,
I need to retrieve the month and the year of a given date. I need to have 2
digits for the month and the month, but I don't know how to format it.
Can somebody give me an example?

Thanks!

Hi,

Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Parse("Dec 01, 2004")

Dim intMonth As Integer = dt.Month

Trace.WriteLine(intMonth.ToString("00"))

Ken,

In my opinion because there are so many people on the world who visit this
newsgroup, it is better not to use the US and Anglo Canadian notation in a
date. Using the New Date(2004,12,01) is global.

However just my opinion,
