Date format and search date

[Navi]

Hi! I create textbox and need to enter date into it using asp.net. If I enter 092006 press enter, the number will change to 09/20/2006. How to code this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Navi,

Use Convert.ToDateTime() to change the string to mm/dd/yyyy format.
Note that for the above function to execute it needs the input in 09/20/06 rather than 092006 .
To pass the right input use string insert function as

Dim input As String = "092006".Insert(2, "/").ToString.Insert(5, "/").ToString
Me.txtbox.Text=Convert.ToDateTime(input)

u will get the answer.

Hi Navi,

I think u need to convert to datetime as u enter in textbox,then use the code followed down.

private void textBox5_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.textBox5.Text.Length > 7)
{
this.textBox5.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(this.textBox5.Text.ToString()).ToString();
}
}
