Dim dt As New DateTime(2011, 4, 5)
Dim s As String = dt.ToString("yyyyMMdd")

also, if you import the vb6 references (tools, upgrade vb6 code) type code and convert it to add the simple way, im not sure the reference names

you can do vb6.format(now(), "YYYYMMDD")

Or try with:

Format(some_value,"yyyyMMDD")

See if this helps.

Dim ExpDate As String = CDate(dgvBlock_Extend.Rows(icnt).Cells("Extend Door & Lift Expiry Date").Value).ToString("yyyyMMdd")
