Parsing a Date.Now using vb.net

I am trying to parse a return value of the date.now

I have the following:

'On a button control I have the following

Dim date1 as Date = Date.now

'I would like to parse the returned value # 9/5/2019 01:27:04 PM#

Open in new window

The format I am trying to get is the following
<min,hour,date,weekday,month,year>

So the returned value above would look like:

<27,01,05,4,9,2019>

Any help would be amazing.

This should work:

Date.Now.ToString("<mm,HH,dd,") & cint(Date.Now.DayOfWeek) & Date.Now.ToString(",MM,yyyy>")

Open in new window

In .Net we have DateTime data type and everything that you need is available as a property. So, date1.Hour will get you Hours value and so on. All you need to do is use concatenation to get desired results.

date1.Hour & "," & date1.Minute...

Here is a function that you could use:
Function Adjustdate(ByVal i As DateTime) As String
' <min,hour,day,weekday,month,year>
Return "<" & i.Minute & "," & i.Hour & "," & i.Day & "," & i.DayOfWeek & "," & i.Month & "," & i.Year & ">"
End Function
