pure vb.net format question

[Starbuck]

Hi All

Is there an pure vb.net way of doing the following.

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Format(Now, "dd/mm/yyyy")
Which will return date in string format of 11/02/2005 for example

Thanks in advance

TextBox1.Text = Format("dd/mm/yy", DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString)

HTH

All you need to do is

now.tostring("d")

This will use the regional setting to display a short date. But if you want
to hard code the format use

now.tostring("dd/MM/yyyy")

I hope this help
