Get Mysql Timestamp to textbox with your own format

here is my complete code for it

Code:

---

Dim conn As New MySqlConnection(connStr)
            conn.Open()

            Dim reader As MySqlDataReader

            Dim cmd_date As New MySqlCommand("SELECT timestamp FROM allmessage WHERE status='sent' ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 0, 1", conn)

            reader = cmd_date.ExecuteReader


            While reader.Read


                Dim i As Date = reader.GetDateTime("timestamp")
                TextBox2.Text = Format(CDate(i), "yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm:ss")

            End While

            conn.Close()

---

declare this function

Public Function GetDateTime(ByVal ordinal As Integer) As DateTime

End Function

For all of the reasons in this thread: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...in-the-textbox ... this is considered substandard coding... all it takes is one line:
TextBox1.Text = i.ToString("yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm:ss") ... in fact you can skip using i all together....

Textbox1.Test = reader.GetDateTime("timestamp").ToString("yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm:ss")

Oh... and you'll want to do this with a scalar method... not a reader... you're only returning one date and one date only... use the ExecuteScalar function instead.
