    Formating the Data in a Text Box

    Just like the way we set the format for a cell in a excel sheet....how can i
    format the data in my text box...
    I want to know how to format a text box for the following data
    1. Month/Date/Year = MM/DD/YYYY
    2. Time = Hours: Mins

      Vishnu,

      That depends what the culture is that is used. The OS for which are .Net
      have the dates work on the way the culture is set in the setting of the
      system.

      Therefore first what do you mean with MM/DD/YYYY as month/date/year

      The nearest date description I know is MM/dd/yyyy which means month as 2
      ciphers, day 2 ciphers, year 4 ciphers. I assume that you mean with date,
      day however to be sure.

      So maybe can you make this clear, before you get a bunch of answers which do
      in fact not work.

                      You still did not gave an answer however have a look to this in a simple
                      format.

                      TextBox1.Text = (CDate("31-12-2005")).ToStrin g("d")

                      This is in my culture.
                      Have a look at this

                      http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp

                      In version 2005 there is the maskedtextbox

                      http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...edtextbox.mask

                      I hope this helps,

                      Cor
