Remove Time from date/time vb.net

datetime, textbox, vb.net, winforms

Solution

Since the CurrentCells(4).Value is an object try casting it to a `DateTime` then convert using the `ToShortDateString Method`

Form2.TextBox5.Text = CType(dgv1.CurrentRow.Cells(4).Value, DateTime).ToShortDateString

or you can use `DateTime.TryParse` which will return true if the conversion is succesfull

Dim tempDate As Date
If DateTime.TryParse(CStr(dgv.CurrentRow.Cells(4).Value), tempDate) Then
    Form2.TextBox5.Text = tempDate.ToShortDateString
Else
    Form2.TextBox5.Text = "Invalid Date"
End If

Problem

``` Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Form2.Show() Form2.TextBox1.Text = dgv1.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value.ToString Form2.TextBox2.Text = dgv1.CurrentRow.Cells(1).Value.ToString Form2.TextBox3.Text = dgv1.CurrentRow.Cells(2).Value.ToString Form2.TextBox4.Text = dgv1.CurrentRow.Cells(3).Value.ToString Form2.TextBox5.Text = dgv1.CurrentRow.Cells(4).Value.ToString Form2.TextBox6.Text = dgv1.CurrentRow.Cells(5).Value.ToString Form2.TextBox7.Text = dgv1.CurrentRow.Cells(6).Value.ToString ``` textbox5 is the one that should only show the date but when i click the button, the textbox shows me the date and time. ex: 12/01/12 12:00 AM. how can i remove the time from showing up into the textbox?
