Date Formatting

[jpabich]

I am running a SmartDevice application on a handheld and want to display the current date/time. The current format it is displaying when I use the Now function is:

mm/dd/yy hh/mm/ss AM/PM

I would like it to be:

mm/dd/yyyy hh/mm/ss AM/PM

How do I do this?

If I read you right, maybe something like

MessageBox.Show(Format(Now, "MM/dd/yyyy hh/mm/ss tt"))

Check out User-Defined Date/Time Formats and (Format Function) and Predefined Date/Time Formats (Format Function) in MSDN.

HTH,

if you are using DateTimePicker:

Me.DateTimePicker1.Format = System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
Me.DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy hh/mm/ss AM/PM"

dont forget to keep your 'mm' in upper case.

dd/mm/yyyy wont work

dd/MM/yyyy will work

Me.DateTimePicker1.Format = System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
Me.DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy"
