In VB6, when you do Format(Date$, "medium date"), you get something like
"25-Aug-06".
How can I do that in VB.NET ?
Thanks.

Check out the documentation on 'DateTime.ToString'.
 
Thanks.
I looked at it, but I can not find any formatting there that gives me the
"medium date" (ie 03-Jan-07).
Is there any way to do that in VB.NET ?

Hey,

Here's a small program to illustrate

Dim myDate as DateTime = DateTime.Now
Console.WriteLine(myDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy"))
