Convert DateTime to string?

[Tony]

DateTime today;
today=today.Date;
MessageBox.Show(today);

Fails because Cannot Convert System.DateTime to string


I've tried MessageBox.Show((string)today);

But that didn't work either.

How would I modify it so I can snag the current Date/Time in a string?

Thanks,,

Tony!

MessageBox.Show(today.ToString())

DateTime has a number of in-built string conversion functions
shortdate
longdate
time???
etc...
