formating date

[moiseszaragoza]

I have a simple question to ask.

i am trying to format a date but i get "02/09/2009"
and i want "Feb/09/2009"

how do i do this
Thanks



Partial Class conditions
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Public myDate As Date
Public strDate As String
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
myDate = Date.Now
strDate = Format(myDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")
End Sub
End Class

Look into the DateTime.Now classes, specifically the ToString methods within those. Just Google, DateTime .NET. There are tons of them, don't remember all of them off hand.

Try: Format(myDate, "mmm/dd/yyyy")... notice there are three M in the month indicator of the string as opposed to 2 :-)

i find this to be strange.

when i use

myDate = Date.Now
// #2/17/2009 9:10:55 AM#
strDate = Format(myDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")
//07/17/2009


i dont know why it outputs 07/17/2009 and not 02/17/2009

allso when i try the MMM it outputs

myDate = Date.Now
// #2/17/2009 9:13:04 AM#
strDate = Format(myDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")
//12/17/2009
