DateTime.ToString() Patterns

I've taken this from: http://www.geekzilla.co.uk/View00FF7904-B510-468C-A2C8-F859AA20581F.htm  because I use it so much and would be devastated if it ever went down :)

  • TextBox1.Tostring('d') and TextBox1.Tostring("dd/mm/yyyy")
    both gives error "No overload for method ToString takes 1 argument"

  • Anuj,

    using TextBox1.ToString() will attempt to create a string representation of the object which cannot work in this case.

    If you are using a TextBox, you must first cast it to a DateTime and use the .Text property.

    ex: C# - Convert.ToDateTime(TextBox1.Text).ToString("dd/mm/yyyy")
    VB - CType(TextBox1.Text, DateTime).ToString("dd/mm/yyyy")

  • Correction month should be in caps so it should be:

    ex: C# - Convert.ToDateTime(TextBox1.Text).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")

    VB - CType(TextBox1.Text, DateTime).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
