hi,

   how to convert a date into mm/dd/yyyy format when the date entered in (dd/mm/yyyy) format.

   thanks in advance-Ashok Parchuri

Sir If u are using VB.NET for the purpose then I may help u out . Why dont u input the date in the mm/dd/yyyy format in the date time field and the when u are converting it to string just mention the format as the second parameter that is (dd/mm/yyyy) but in VB.NET mm stands for minutes so use MM for the following

public static string setDateDisplayFormat(DateTime _date)
{
strCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.To String();
strShortDateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
return (_date.ToString().Length>0?DateTime.Parse(_date.To String(),
    System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCul ture(strCulture).DateTimeFormat).ToString(strShort DateFormat):"");
}
