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 date format on my list view which is read from sql server , i.e., the date format is expressed as for example 12/08/2009 12:00:00

I am trying to store DoteOfBirth from a Calender control in visual studio 2010.
Dim dob As Date = Calendar1.SelectedDate.Date.ToShortDateString()
I wanna save like dd/MM/yyyy without anything else but when i save it it shows like
2012-02-28T00:00:00+00:00
I don't know where to change the format and I don't know how to remove the thing attached to the date. I am writing it in vb.net and saving to xml file.
example: inside regional date format setting i set "Short date format dd/MMM/yyyy" and inside vb.net program i set "strSQL = strSQL & ",'" & Date(Date.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")) & "'" ----> working fine. if user changed the regional date format setting to other format like "mm/dd/yy" facing problem during saving record into sql table. error date conversion. It's possible to avoid using computer regional date format from vb.net? or have any other way...

I've got a little program that puts some info from an sql database into some text boxes on my form.The text box i'm trying to change shows a date in the format such as "JAN12" and I just want to take off the last 2 characters (always 5 characters) and put them in a second text box.I tried this to take off those 2 characters but it doesn't seem to do anything:
Dim fixExpiry As String Dim chars1() As Char = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0"} fixExpiry = ST_ExpiryTextBox.Text fixExpiry.TrimEnd(chars1)
I also tried using something like remove(3,2) but it didn't do anything either.
i m developing a window application using vb.net & ms sql server 2008. The date is by default mm/dd/yyyy. But i wanna change this to dd/mm/yyyy. How is it possible and where do i hv to make changes?
On one server now.date() gives date like '08/06/2012 00:00:00' and on other gives '6/8/2012 12:00:00 AM'. I need the date like '08/06/2012 00:00:00'. I can not use now.date.tostring("dd/MM/yyyy") as it is at too many places.

I am attempting to import data in a batch from an Excel Worksheet to a Sql Server database. Everything works except for the one date field in the spreadsheet. The date returned is off by four years from the value in the spreadsheet. Example: The Excel sheet has a date 10/24/2010 14:18, but when I look at the column in my query, the date is 10/23/2006 2:18. This pattern, 4 years and 1 day earlier, is repeated for every row in the worksheet.
The Excel column comes to me as a custom type, formatted m/d/yyyy h:mm. I receive this from an outside vendor and having them change the column is not going to be my simplest solution.
For what it's worth, the relevent part of the query is:
