I used a calender controller to insert a date to one of my forms used in ASP.Net. But the text-box shows the date as a short date. All I want is to display the date as a long date for better viewing.

I used VB 2005 with ASP.Net 2.0

Solution 1

Format the date with the ToString function, with the Long Date format string: "F"

VB

Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("F"))

There is a list of the format codes here: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]

But my dear friend all I want is to display the date in full in the web browser not in the vb console! Please try to solve my question!

Use your brain: the Console.Writeline was to show you what the output would look like. I do not know what your control names are, where in your code you are putting this, etc., etc., etc..
