Hi try:<br />
Dim newDate As Date = DateTime.Parse(txtNewDate.<wbr />Text)<br />
<br />
Then you can use newDate.ToShortDateString(<wbr />)<br />
Or directly DateTime.Parse(txtNewDate.<wbr />Text).ToSh<wbr />ortDateStr<wbr />ing()
</div>

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a textBox which contains in its text property a date. I need to place the date into a date variable: I tried without success the following:<br />
<br />
Dim newDate As Date = CType(txtNewDate.Text, Date).ToShortDateString<br />
<br />
Can you help?<br />

thanks

Visual Basic.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
