Unfortunately no. The process
Unfortunately no. The process I'm working on is for a windows assembly, and Visual Studio is a tool needed to created such things. (Think .NET)
PHP, ColdFusion, and other various languages have very simple built in instructions to format date output... I find it hard and at the same time easy to believe that Microsoft's language would not have such convenient practices readily available.

It talks about wrapping a Format() function around it.
Hey guys, I'm having a hard time getting the date object from vb.net 2005 formatted the way I want it, and I think some of the documentation might be wrong.
According to the Microsoft Developer Network, Date.Today() should return the date in yyyy-mm-dd format. It doesn't. The date is does return is in m/d/yyyy format.
Currently to get close to the output I want, I have to string together three separate instances of the date object ala,
Giving me: yyyymdd. This is almost the format I want. It truncates the leading zeros from month and day. I want those zeros.
I've done some quick searches on MSN, but I can't seem to find too much. I find it hard to believe that Visual Studio 2005 doesn't have a more efficient way of producing and formatting the date object?
