Dateformat on databound textboxes? (Monday, January 30, 2006)



Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Dateformat on databound textboxes?
by:Graham Blandford

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how I go about setting a custom date format (or any other
format for that matter) to a textbox that has a databinding?

In VB6 I would do something like 'set text1.format = myformat', but that
isn;t a format property in VB.NET.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Graham

 You can use Format directly on a value, but if I understand your question
correctly, you'll want to add a handler for the .Format and .Parse events.
This explains it pretty well but let me know if you have any problems.
