I must be achieving senility. I can no longer understand the contents of
the VS.NET Help files.
When I use the ToLongdateString method on a date variable (.SelectedDate
from VB's Calendar control), it presents the selected date in the format
"dd MMMM yyyy" (i.e., e.g., "14 February 2004") whereas I want to see it
in the format "dddd dd MMMM yyyy" (i.e. "Saturday 14 February 2004"),
which I thought was the default for UK English. (Have my settings
perhaps been screwed up by my installing Macromedia products, like
DreamWeaver and ColdFusion?)
I tried getting my desired result by using instead
..SelectedDate.ToString.Format("dddd dd MM."), but this, rather
depressingly presented all dates as (specifically) the text string "dd.
DD MM.".
How do I either set up this particular instance of a date format to show
"dddd dd MMMM yyyy", or alternatively change my '.ToLongDateString' in
the 'LocalCulture' set up to show "dddd dd MMMM yyyy" by default?
