Thank you Maran,
I had changed my regional settings in control panel prior to posting my
message, but I didnt realize that they wouldnt take effect until I closed out
of VS and re-entered. Which brings another question to mind. If we want the
date displayed as yyyy-MM-dd format can that be accomplished solely by
setting to "English(United States)"? Because when I noticed the problem
initially, I had my windows settings for date format as MM-dd-yyyy and my
language was English(United States) and that seemed to be why I saw the date
format as MM-dd-yyyy when I changed my parameter to DateTime format. I am
wondering if the users have their date format in windows set other than
MM-dd-yyyy if just making the language English(United States) will matter at
all now. Since that was the way my settings were originally. Is there a way
to enforce a date time format? I realize that each textbox has a format
parameter, but this textbox that referenced the date parameter had other code
in it which was being translated into multiple languages in a code block - so
I cant use the format property on the textbox itself - I would have to put it
in the code block somehow. Thanks again for your reply.
