How to convert Date and Time Formats in VB.Net

[Jamaima]

Hi,

It used to work in vb6. I don't know the syntax in vb.net.

current date and time....
format (cstr(date),"DDMMYY")
format(cstr(time),"HHMM")

In my development code I use the following format to insert the date and time,check whether is it right and want any kind of changes.
Dim date As DateTime = DateTime.Parse("August 10, 1980 10:10:23 AM")

date.ToString("ddMMyy")
date.ToString("hhmm")

Thanks

A particular custom date and time format specifier produces an identical string representation regardless of whether it is used with a DateTime value or a DateTimeOffset value.

Represents the day of the month as a number from 1 through 31. A single-digit day is formatted without a leading zero. For more information about using a single custom format specifier.
The following example includes the d custom format specifier in several format strings.

Dim date1 As Date = #08/29/2008 7:27:15PM#

Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("d, M", _
                  CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)) 
' Displays 29, 8

Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("d MMMM", _
                  CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")))
' Displays 29 August
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("d MMMM", _
                  CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("es-MX")))
' Displays 29 agosto

A standard DateTime format string consists of a single standard DateTime format specifier character that represents a custom DateTime format stringCustom DateTime Format Strings. The format string ultimately defines the text representation of a DateTime object that is produced by a formatting operation. Note that any DateTime format string that contains more than one alphabetic character, including white space, is interpreted as a custom DateTime format string.

Represents the full name of the month as defined in the current DateTimeFormatInfo..::.MonthNames property. The following example includes the MMMM custom format specifier in a custom format string.

Visual Basic

Dim date1 As Date = #08/29/2008 7:27:15PM#

Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("dddd dd MMMM", _
                  CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")))
' Displays Friday 29 August

C#

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2008, 8, 29, 19, 27, 15);

Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("dddd dd MMMM", 
                  CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")));
// Displays Friday 29 August
