How to Display only the Datepart using Expression in SSRS? - sql

I need to display only the Datepart(6/26/2000) in the report by neglecting Time in the Report in SSRS. already i'm fetching the that datetime from the Dataset output column Startdate
Expression Used:
=First(Fields!start_dte_display.Value, "Salesvalue")
SalesValue==>Dataset name
Output i'm getting from above Expression :
6/26/2000 12:00:00 AM
My expected Output:
6/26/2000
Kindly Help me with the output!!

Try FORMAT:
=Format(First(Fields!start_dte_display.Value, "Salesvalue"), "MM/dd/yyyy")
Note: MM has to be in upper-case, mm will get you minutes!

You can use Text-box properties to set the date format as you want to show on the report. Just you need to right click on the text-box and choose Text Box Properties. In the Text Box Properties window you can choose Number > Date and date sample as 1/31/2000 and click on the Ok button.
Another simple way to set the Text Box Format = M/d/yyyy in properties window.

How to set the date format of dd-MMM-yy in DataGridView at design time in vb.net?

I am developing the vb.net windows application.
I have used the grid view for displaying data.
I want to use the dd-MMM-yy format in DataGridView.
for example, I want to display the time as 01-Jan-16
but I cant see the this format in VS 2012 IDE .
here is the image of it...
can I use the custom format for it ? What is the format for it ?
You can use DataGridViewCellStyle.Format property at design-time or run-time to set format to dd-MMM-yy. Then it shows date as 06-Jan-16.
Go to Columns property, and open Edit Columns window. Under the Appearance category, edit DefaultCellStyle, open CellmStyle Builder window and under Behavior category enter the custom Format.
Also you can click on ... and open Format String Dialog and choose between predefined formats and custom format and enter custom format there:
Or using code you can write this code:
Dim DataGridViewCellStyle1 = New DataGridViewCellStyle()
DataGridViewCellStyle1.Format = "dd-MMM-yy"
Me.Column1.DefaultCellStyle = dataGridViewCellStyle1
For more information about suppported formatting that you can use with Format property, see Formatting Types in the .NET Framework.

Report Language has to be set.
<Report>
...
<Language>=User!Language</Language>
</Report>
Hi there is another way from inside the Visual studio editor.
When you select the field in the property windows there is the language setting, from the combo box you can choose the language that you want or set a parameter that id passed to the report, as you can see from the picture.
right click on the box containing the date , then select option "Expression" finally you must put something like:
=CDate(Parameters!dateStart.Value).ToString("dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm:ss")
"Parameters!dateStart.Value" change it to your data source
finally you click on "accept"
The reason for the change is because the server format , Where is the application , has a regional configuration

How to remove time section from date time picker?

I am currently using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows desktop with an SQL back-end. I am trying to run an SQL query that will have the date time in format "yyyy-mm-dd." My problem is I need to see all entries from that date. Currently my date time picker keeps giving me a time with my selection. I need to remove the time portion. I tried a couple of solutions from the web but when I try and display the date time picker in a message box to see what the value is it says false. I am not sure how to change the output value in the custom field to remove this. Here is my code.
This is in on my load event:
'date time picker set up
DTPPromiseDate.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
DTPPromiseDate.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
Then in a button click event, is a message box to display what was selected in the date time picker. I want to get my message box working correctly before I try and run SQL queries with it.
MsgBox(DTPPromiseDate.Value)
-------------------------UPDATE-----------------
This code appeared as I wanted it to but I am still trying to work it into my query.
DTPPromiseDate.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
Apply the formatting string that you used in the picker's custom format to the message box text as well.

Trying to fill textbox value with today's date only on visual basics

I am trying to fill a textbox value with the current date and I do not want the user to be able to change the date. I want to use a textbox and not a datepicker. I would like the form to load with today's date already loaded in the textbox, which I will then use in my insert query.
I want the date format of yyyy-MM-dd to be in the textbox memberregisterationdate.text. I am not sure where on my form I should put the code either.
Really stuck on this and I can't seem to find it anywhere
Thanks in advance
You have to make it Enabled = False to disable it. You can load it in Form_Load:
memberregisterationdate.Text = Date.Today.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")

DateTimePicker custom formatting not displaying

This is a WinForms, VB.NET app, using VS 2010 Pro. I added a datetimepicker to a form. Set the custom property to MM/dd/yyy. the relevant part of my function is as below:
If IsDate(_uni.unitRentDate) Then
t_TenantUnitRentDate.Value = _uni.unitRentDate
Else
If Not _uni.unitRentDate.HasValue Then
t_TenantUnitRentDate.Value = New DateTime(2010, 1, 1)
End If
End If
_uni is a table in the EF and unitRentDate is stored in that table as DATETIME. The datetimepicker is t_TenantUnitRentDate.
The problem I am having is that when the form loads the dateTimePicker is showing the date in the format of this example Saturday , September 10, 2012 . This is not what I am wanting it to do at all.. It should be showing as 9/10/2012 . Why is this failing I looked at the date being returned from the database and it is showing a correct date value at that time.
Try it again by setting Format property to 'Custom'
Probably the custom format MM/dd/yyy is invalid. The year must have either two or four digits.
MM/dd/yy
or
MM/dd/yyyy
