Hi,

I want to use custom date variable formats without changing the regional settings.

ex:
Dim mydate as date

mydate = "30/05/2014"

It shows the following error
"Conversion from string "30/05/2014" to type 'Date' is not valid."

when my short date format is MM/yyyy/dd.

How to rectify the error without changing short date format in Regional Settings.

It shows the following error
Could not determine the order of year, month, and date from 'MM/yyyy/dd'.

Solution 3

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM:yyyy:dd");
Date date = new Date();
String time = sdf.format(date);
System.out.println(time);

Thanks, It works well. What is need is mydate should be "30/05/2014". Now my date is "05/30/2014", I want mydate format should be "dd/mm/yyyy"
