Date format VB 2005 beta

Dim mystrAsString
mystr = TextBox2.Text
TextBox2.Text = Format(mystr,"dd MMM yyyy")

If date typed in as 01-01-2001 in VB6 will give 01 JAN 2001.
If date typed in as 01-01-2001 in VB 2005 Beta will give - dd MMM yyyy

Im assuming Im wrong somewhere.
Any ideas please.
Thanks,
Blinky.

# 1

you can use..

String.Format("D", DateTime.Parse(mystr))
DateTime.ToString: DateTime.Parse(mystr).ToString("D")

You need to convert the string to a date, ie:

TextBox2.Text = Format(CDate(mystr),"dd MMM yyyy")

Hope this helps,
