Hi All,
I am fairly new to VB .Net 2003. I have been reading a book and doing some
of the exercises. I was practicing with labels and it was explaing how to
have info show in the label, so I was experimenting with some of the other
fuctions they show like month, time etc. In the Form Load Event I could get
like Label1.Text = Month(Now) it would return a 9 or i could get the current
time to display. The book also reference Day(date) and it would return a
1-31 based on the day. But when ever I try to put Label1.text = Day(now) it
gives me an error saying Day is not valid. So I guess I am confused whe the
others would work but not Day. I can put this same expression in an access
form and it works just fine.
Can some tell me why it does not work in VB.Net?
Thanks for the Help.

I would fully qualify the function with its namespace (or use Imports):
Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.Day

Paul,
So does this mean that I would type the statement like:
Label1.Text = Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.Day(Now)
or replace (Now) with like a hard coded date (09/21/2005).
Thanks,
Jeff
Label1.Text = DateTime.Now.Day

You can use Now or anything else that will convert to a Date, that would include a hard-coded date.
You can also do the following:
'at the top of the module
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime
'in your procedure
Label1.Text = Day(Now)
