More ASP.NET Tutorials

Working with Dates and Time in ASP.NET using Visual Basic.NET is not complicated.

First we set the initial DateTime variable as follows:

Dim dtNow As DateTime = DateTime.Now

Now we can use this variable to manipulate today's date to give us the exact format that we need.

We have created a Literal control for each time variable below.

We then assign the each variable below to the .Text property of the Literal control.


9/5/2008 9:44:07 PM
litNow.Text = dtNow.ToString


9/5/2008
litDate.Text = dtNow.Date


9/5/2008
litToday.Text = dtNow.Today


9/5/2008
litToShortDateString.Text = dtNow.ToShortDateString


9:44 PM
litToShortTimeString.Text = dtNow.ToShortTimeString


Friday, September 05, 2008
litToLongDateString.Text = dtNow.ToLongDateString


9:44:07 PM
litToLongTimeString.Text = dtNow.ToLongTimeString


9/6/2008 2:44:07 AM
litToUniversalTime.Text = dtNow.ToUniversalTime


249
litDayOfYear.Text = dtNow.DayOfYear


5
litDayOfWeek.Text = dtNow.DayOfWeek


9
litDay.Text = dtNow.Month


5
litDay.Text = dtNow.Day


2008
litDay.Text = dtNow.Year


9/6/2008 9:44:07 PM
litAddDays.Text = dtNow.AddDays(1)


9/5/2008 10:44:07 PM
litAddHours.Text = dtNow.AddHours(1)
