date

The following code returns the filedate as:
i.e.
"152009"
"1062009"
...

How can I alter the code to show "152009" as "01052009" notice the 0

Dim fileCreateDate As Date = File.GetCreationTime(strSourcePath)

Dim strImportDate As String = fileCreateDate.Day.ToString() & "" & fileCreateDate.Month.ToString() & "" & fileCreateDate.Year.ToString()

Thanks

The ToString accepts a format string as a parameter...

Dim strImportDate As String = fileCreateDate.Day.ToString("00") & "" & fileCreateDate.Month.ToString("00") & "" & fileCreateDate.Year.ToString("0000")

You don't need to split the date up like that just to format it though. You can do it in 1 ToString call.

        Dim fileCreateDate As Date = File.GetCreationTime(strSourcePath)
        Dim strImportDate As String = fileCreateDate.ToString("ddMMyyyy")

To make searching easier, doing yyyyMMdd is a lot easier to read.
