I am getting back into VB.NET after 3 years away.
Going through the tutorials. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/with-visual-studio?pivots=dotnet-7-0
Where can I find the documentation that explains what
{currentDate:d}
is doing?
It is getting the date as a number, but where is this documented?
Thanks.
In the past:
Console.WriteLine("{0}Hello, {1}, on {2:d} at {2:t}", Environment.NewLine, name, currentDate)
In modern Basic you can use the “Interpolated Strings”:
{currentDate:d} means that the date will be displayed using the short numeric form without the time. The “d” and “t” are special strings that control the format of the output:
Thank you.
I go further back to doing something like this:
Dim time As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim format As String = "MMM ddd d HH:mm yyyy"
Console.WriteLine(time.ToString(format))
