Question

I am getting date as April,1,2009. I want to format the date so that the month is displayed as 4. Not only for the date given above but for whatever date is given. Can anybody give appropriate code?

Answer 1

To get just the month as an integer, you could use this.

    Dim inputDate As String = 'April 1, 2009'     Dim outputDate As Date = Date.Parse(inputDate)     Dim month As Integer = outputDate.Month 

Of course you’ll want to make sure inputDate is valid. For that you can use DateTime.TryParse instead of DateTime.Parse.
