How do I chane the date format? VB.net or VS 2005(VB)
Hi
I am getting the date and time to a textbox1.text as 12/03/2007 18:50:49. I am using printpreviewdialog1 to get this value to report to printout. It works fine.
But my question is how do I change the date formate of textbox1.text to 12-03-2007 18:50:49 in the field of printpreviewdialog1. I am able to get the date as it in the textbox1.text but could not change the formate of it.
Advance Thanks

Are you using a DateTime object to store/get the date?
If so, try using the DateTime.ToString() functions. There are several versions of ToString() that can format it for you.
If you want to get a String into a DateTime instead, look at DateTime.TryParse() which converts a String to a DateTime.
Look on the MSDN help for details of these two functions.

Hi
Somehow I managed to work out but need bit more help
ex; TextBox1.Text = "14/03/2007T14:08:23"
Dim TestDate As Date = TextBox1.Text
Dim DoI_ans As String = (TestDate.Date.Day() & "-" & TestDate.Date.Month() & "-" & TestDate.Date.Year() & " & " & TestDate.Hour() & ":" & TestDate.Minute() & ":" & TestDate.Second())
I am getting the output like this : 14 - 3 - 2007 & 14: 8 :23 but I want every thing in double digits like below

hi,Vaish
I have tied a code like this
Imports System
Imports System.Globalization
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.DateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
Me.DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss"
Me.TextBox1.Text = Me.DateTimePicker1.Text
Dim dts As New DateTime
Dim culture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR", True)
Dim string1 As String = Me.TextBox1.Text
Try
dts = DateTime.Parse(string1, culture, DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault)
Catch
MessageBox.Show("The datetime type is not correct", "Wrong!")
End Try
Dim mytf As String = "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss"
Dim s As String
s = dts.ToString(mytf, DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo)
Me.TextBox3.Text = s
End Sub
End Class
In this methed,I usse datatime.parse to convert string type.I hope it helps.more more information ,look at it in msdn.
