The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Date format for which ever region to be converted with code into dd-mm-yy string. (Visual Studio 2005 .VB .Net)

Asked by compubyte-sa in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, .NET

Tags: , ,

I am using Visual Studio 2005 VB .net and I need to know how with code can I get the date format that the system is currently using.

I currently use Now to get the date and assume that my region is Africa so I get the date in a string as year/mm/dd.  I  then break the date portion into month and year for specific storage functions.  The problem is when the regional setting is changed by the user my code than gets the wrong month and year info.

Example of my code:-

DocumentDate = Mid(Now, 9, 2) + "-" + Mid(Now, 6, 2) + "-" +Mid(Now,3,2)        
DocumentMonth = Mid(DocumentDate, 4, 2)
DocumentYear=Mid(DocumentDate, 7, 2)

Basically I am reducing the date to dd-mm-yy , I have been doing this in the past to store the files in the legacy dos format which did not allow long file names etc.

I need a solution where no matter what the region is the date should be returned in dd-mm-yy Eg: 27 June 2007 will be 27-06-07.
