What is the .NET way? - Right("0" & Now.Month.ToString, 2)

[Terry Olsen]

This is the easiest way I can think of to do this:
tmp=Right("0" & Now.Month.ToString, 2)

The only way I've figured to do it the .NET way is this:
tmp="0" & Now.Month.ToString
tmp=tmp.substring(tmp.length-3)

Surely, there's a more elegant way?

tmp = now.month.tostring("00") should do the trick.

Now.ToString("MM")

Go to DateTime.ToString in the help file and start following links around
until you find the table of datetime format strings.

Herfried,

Tom (and I) were trying to teach Terry how to fish, we probably both know
how we have to give that fish.
