16.1 Formatting Date and time using predefined formats<\/h3>\n

In Visual Basic 2012, we can format date and time using predefined formats or user-defined formats. The predefined formats of date and time are shown in Table 16.1.<\/p>\n

\"Visual<\/a><\/p>\n

* Instead of “General date”, you can also use the abbreviated format “G”, i.e. Format (Now, “G”). For “Long Time”, you can use the abbreviated format “T” and for “Short Time”, you may use the abbreviated format “t”<\/p>\n

Example 16.1<\/h4>\n
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click\r\n Label1.Text = Format(Now, \"General Date\")\r\n Label2.Text = Format(Now, \"Long Date\")\r\n Label3.Text = Format(Now, \"short Date\")\r\n Label4.Text = Format(Now, \"Long Time\")\r\n Label5.Text = Format(Now, \"Short Time\")\r\nEnd Sub\r\n<\/pre>\n
The output is shown in the figure below:
