DateTime format quirks
Dear, All
I have very strange problem, I have the short date format on the system (Windows XP) set to the following: d/MMM/yyyy, so today will be viewed as: 14/Sep/2006.
but when I try to set the text in a textbox using the following statement: TextBox1.Text = Today.ToShortDateString()
it displayed: 9/14/2006.
I don't need to say I try many formating variations, and I think there's something wrong on the system.
please any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance :-)
Regards
Ahmad Mohsen

Have you tried:
Now.ToString("dd/MMM/yyyy")

Dear, Sir (dparsons)
You are from golden heaven :-), thank you so much..it did works.
but ispite it works, did it makes any sense that I set the System date settings to something and although I can't access this setting, is this a bug in Windows or Visual Studio or what..thanks in advance :-)

What do you mean, access the DateTime format of your PC? Is your PC the web server?

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.

Dear, Sir
Forgive me, I don't get it :-)
as you must know, I speak English as my second language :-), so I can't decide are you angry with me or you just joke..of course I don't want to bother you by any means, I just need help.
anyway if I (unintentionally) annoy you, please accept my apologize.
Regards
Ahmad Mohsen

No, Im not angry. You said:

What I meant was, you set the datetime to dd/mmm/yyyy on your PC, is your PC the webserver of your application?
Also you may want to read up on Localization in .NET, it had a great deal to do with how dates and such are displayed.
