DateTime in TextBox (Visual Basic)

[shane1961]

My textbox datatype is DateTime.

Using the click event of a button, this code is placed following MyTableBindingSourceAddNew()

Dim CurrentDateTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd.MM.yy hh:mm:ss")
Me.SaleDateTextBox.Text = CurrentDateTime

I then update table with TableAdapter.

On my form I have a dropdown combobox in a toolbar, display member being "SaleDate"
This displays DateTime, but time is always 12:00:00AM
The SaleDateTextbox.Text populates as Date.Now.

I am not getting correct date and time in both textbox and combobox.

All help appreciated.

Shane.

The DateTime object is not a string. Read "Formatting DateTime objects as strings" examples at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime?view=net-7.0

Hi rproffitt. Thank you for your reply.
The ToString is irrelevant. If I display the variable CurrentDateTime in a MessageBox.Show, it returns correct DateTime.
However the field SaleDate does not populate with CurrentDateTime, only Date.Now. This is what I am not understanding.

I'm not at my dev machine but the code looks incomplete to me. See more examples at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime.now?view=net-7.0

Use the console output to check your work as per examples.
