Working with Dates and Time in ASP.NET

First we set the initial DateTime variable as follows:

Dim dtNow As DateTime = DateTime.Now

Now we can use this variable to manipulate today’s date to give us the exact format that we need.

6/25/2008

litDate.Text = dtNow.Date

6/25/2008

litToday.Text = dtNow.Today

6/25/2008

litToShortDateString.Text = dtNow.ToShortDateString

8:26 AM

litToShortTimeString.Text = dtNow.ToShortTimeString

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

litToLongDateString.Text = dtNow.ToLongDateString

8:26:46 AM

litToLongTimeString.Text = dtNow.ToLongTimeString

6/25/2008 1:26:46 PM

litToUniversalTime.Text = dtNow.ToUniversalTime

177

litDayOfYear.Text = dtNow.DayOfYear

3

litDayOfWeek.Text = dtNow.DayOfWeek

6

litDay.Text = dtNow.Month

25

litDay.Text = dtNow.Day

2008

litDay.Text = dtNow.Year

6/26/2008 8:26:46 AM

litAddDays.Text = dtNow.AddDays(1)

6/25/2008 9:26:46 AM

litAddHours.Text = dtNow.AddHours(1)

6/25/2008 8:26:56 AM

litAddMilliseconds.Text = dtNow.AddMilliseconds(10000)

6/25/2008 8:27:46 AM

litAddMinutes.Text = dtNow.AddMinutes(1)

7/25/2008 8:26:46 AM

litAddMonths.Text = dtNow.AddMonths(1)

6/25/2008 8:26:47 AM

litAddSeconds.Text = dtNow.AddSeconds(1)

6/26/2008 12:13:26 PM

litAddTicks.Text = dtNow.AddTicks(1000000000000)

6/25/2009 8:26:46 AM

litAddYears.Text = dtNow.AddYears(1)

6/24/2008 8:26:46 AM

litAddNegDays.Text = dtNow.AddDays(-1)

6/25/2007 8:26:46 AM

litAddNegYears.Text = dtNow.AddYears(-1)
