Solution 1

You can use RegEx or you can use String.Replace() to do it. If you are unfamiliar with either one then you can google for examples.

But normally you will not want to strip characters from dates so you may need to rethink your strategy.

First of all: date is date and nothing else!

Second of all, if you want to display date in custom format, please have a look here: Custom Date and Time Format Strings[^]

C#

Dim thisDate1 As Date = #6/10/2011#
Console.WriteLine("Date: {0} is displayed as: {1}", thisDate1,thisDate1.ToString("ddMMMyyyy") )

Result:

Date: 2011-06-10 00:00:00 is displayed as: 10Jun2011
