Forms :: Formatting Textbox String Into Date Format?
Dec 19, 2010
My user wants to have textbox fields that don't have any masks but wants those text fields to reformat any text that is entered as mm/dd if it is a real date entered. They won't be using the year.

I need to take a string formatted like '010711' (DDMMYY) and put it into format '01-Jul-11'. Ive thought about doing something like string.toArray and then having some conditionals that format from there but am looking for an easier way.
I am trying to format a date from a table that I'm getting so that I can concatenate it with another string.But I want the leading zero - I don't want 1/1/2009 - I want 01/01/2009.
I can't seem to find a formatting pattern that does this.
I am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.
I have a textbox in my form where the individual will enter the date (not necessarily todays date). How can I set a format so if the individual enters 040912, it will change to 04/09/12?
I have a date column in a DB tabel that I want to query using a date taken from textbox.text. the user selects a date from the calendar in the format dd/MM/yyyy. I want to use that date to put into a query. How do i format the date to be able to query the database?[code]
I have a date field in my Access database that I want to display in a textbox with a colored back color. This is VB.NET 2008. A datetimepicker has a format property (short) but the datetimepicker does not allow the color I want. No problem, it's just for display so I'll use a textbox. But the textbox shows the date and time. How can I get rid of the time in the textbox and just have the date? The field in the Access table is Date/Time with a format of Short. I think Access always stores the time.
I have a calendar on a simple windows form and when I choose a date it will put the date into a textbox with the format YYYY-MM-DD.When I choose a date i look up in a MSAccess database if there is any appointments for the selected date. In the file (where the database query is in) calendar.xsd i can use the query below and all my appontments is listed in my datagrid.<CommandText>SELECT * FROM tbNotification</CommandText>
But If I want to use the selected date that I have in my textbox, i get an error saying that "There is some values or parameters missing" (a simple translation from Swedish, dont know the exact English translation). The Query I try to use is the one below:<CommandText>SELECT * FROM tbNotification WHERE ([Date] = '#'+txtSelDate+'#')</CommandText>
I have tried: - ALOT of syntaxes in the query string for the ## around the date - putting the date as String, as Date etc etc - putting the date as a variable (selDate = txtSelDate.text)
I have now tried everything I can think of. Does anyone of you guys a solution for my problem?

I have a dataSet that I am using to populate a masked text box field. The mask is set to ShortDate ("00/00/0000") but when the number is inserted into the text box it is not formatted correctly and is inserted and the date 2004-04-07 looks like 47/20/04 1 in the masked text box.

I am trying to make a filename something like this:
dim Test as string = "name_" + now.toshortdatestring() + ".pdf"
The datestring is like MM/DD/YYYY, which is a particularly bad filename (who want slashes in their file names??)Is there a way to format the date string differently (ie MM-DD-YYYY)?What I was trying to do is tag the file with a date so I could tell when the last time that file was generated, and also keep multiple copies around for archive purposes. Maybe there is a better way and then I dont even need this differently formatted string?
I have an Asp web form (language is VB) that is used to update records in a SQL database. The form is populated with the record with many textboxes as well as dropdownlists. I have a textbox that is populated with a date from the record and is displayed with the date and the time. I would like change the format to only display the date as "mm-dd-yyy". In the code behind the date field is called from the database and put into the textbox via: "MyDate.Text = dt.Rows(0)("MyDate").ToString()".
I am using the following function to Convert a String variable to a Date. Subtract a day from it and convert the date back to a String. The code goes as follows

If edate has a value 29/12/2011 than the value in expenddt gets changed to a different format and the value in expenddt comes to 12/29/2011 and later after subtracting a day expenddt is 12/28/2011 and than when i convert it back to a String i get the value in asd as "12/28/2012 12:00:00 AM"
Not so long ago, I saw somewhere a solution how to check if string is date in yyyyMMdd format (i.e. if it can be converted to date if written in such format). I can't find it anymore but I think is had something to do with DateTime.TryParse method but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work if string is in dd/MM/yyyy format, but dont' know how to make it with yyyyMMdd format. If I'm not mistaken neither of DateTime.TryParse method parameters is for assigning date format...
i want to insert a string as date format in mysql table using vb.net.my code is given below.but i always get an error .the string is stored in an array.
mycode ------
Dim sdfsa As String = Convert.ToDateTime(newarray(i + 17)).ToShortDateString().ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") Dim newdate As Date = DateTime.ParseExact(sdfsa, "yyyy-MM-dd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) datarw("date_of_birth") = newdate
I have a string coming into my app that is in the form of: "Fri Sep 21 07:17:46 2008 GMT" or "Fri Sep []3 07:17:46 2008 GMT" ([] is a space) The tricky thing is the space for the date. I currently split the string and grab what I need to make a valid VB date.
Code: 'Receiving a timestamp in the format: Tue Jan 23 19:33:31 2001 GMT 'Split it and grab what we need to make a valid vb date _element = timeStamp.Split _dateAndTime = CDate(_element(1) & " " & _element(2) & " " & _element(4) & " " & _element(3)) Return _dateAndTime
I'm running into the problem when the date is a single digit because there is never a 0 on single digit dates. So, when I split the string I get a "" for _element(2) and that's bad. I know workarounds to adapt for this, however, my question is: How to implement the String.Format to manipulate this string as is and make it a valid VB date? How to make VB recognize this string as a valid VB date without a prepending 0 on single dates.
