Custom String DateFormating in VC++.Net

[rm_kapadia]

Hi All,

I'm using vc++.net and have a string that represents a date.

"122804"(mmddyy)

Any ideas on using DateTimeFormatInfo to take that value and make it: ( or How to write a Custom parser class for this numeric Data )

"20041228" (yyyymmdd)

or if not possible:

"041228"(yymmdd)

Any help would be great.

Thanks in Advance ...

You could do it with CStrings.

CString strMDY = "122804";
CString strYMD;
strYMD.Format("20%s%s", strMDY.Right(2),  strMDY.Left(4));

Datatime class has function ToString()... where you can specify the format you want to see...

Dateime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
