Converting error

[lpmike]

i got this error 'convert datetime to string format yyyymmdd vb.net'

this is my code

Dim ExpDate As String = dgvBlock_Extend.Rows(icnt).Cells("Extend Door & Lift Expiry Date").Value.ToString("yyyyMMdd")

the value is 4/6/2011 12:00 AM

i wnt to convert to format yyyyMMdd

how i'm going to solve this error?

[jlego]

Dim dt As New DateTime(2011, 4, 5)
Dim s As String = dt.ToString("yyyyMMdd")

also, if you import the vb6 references (tools, upgrade vb6 code) type code and convert it to add the simple way, im not sure the reference names

you can do vb6.format(now(), "YYYYMMDD")

[dxider]

Or try with:

Format(some_value,"yyyyMMDD")

See if this helps.

Dim ExpDate As String = CDate(dgvBlock_Extend.Rows(icnt).Cells("Extend Door & Lift Expiry Date").Value).ToString("yyyyMMdd")

dim sDate as date = dgvBlock_Extend.Rows(icnt).Cells("Extend Door & Lift Expiry Date").Value 
    dim ExpDate as string = sDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
