DateTime.Now is the .NET method of getting the current date object.

or if your using SQL Server you can use the GETDATE() SQL command directly in your query

HI
you just use this code

insertCmd.Parameters.Add("@DateVale", SqlDbType.DateTime,10);

insertCmd.Parameters["@DateVale"].Value = DateTime.Today.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")

Why on Earth would you convert the date to a string?! Just pass it the DateTime object.

A date field also includes the time - I see no reason why you wouldn't want this information available even if you don't want to display it. Use DateTime.ToString(format) to format the output without time.

a lil bit of problem..
the date would be retrieved from the database... now how shud i fomat it without the time.. and in DD/MM/YYYY format..

to retrieve i m using this line of code

Label1.Text = "" + dread["dt"].ToString();

where dt is the datetime field in the database.

If you look in the documentation you'll see the ToString method is overloaded (has several different methods with different parameters). You can feed is a string format like this: (and you don't need the initial blank string - that just creates another object to be cleaned up by the GC)

Label1.Text = dread["dt"].ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

You'll probably find you need to cast it to a DateTime object first:

Label1.Text = ((DateTime)dread["dt"]).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

This documents the possible formating strings:

Extending MasterPage

I am trying to create a base MasterPage class that all the other MasterPages will inherit from. This base class will have some controls so the inheriting MasterPages get those controls automatically.

My problem is that whenever I add controls to my base class it doesnt get added withing the "FORM" tag and I get errors like "Calendar control must be within FORM tag". What am I doing wrong?

this is how I am doing it:

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
            base.OnPreRender(e);
            string Header = "<div>some text</div>";
            this.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(Header));
}

but when I look at the page it is something like this:

...
<form>
...
...
...
</form>
<div>some text</div>

Any help would be appreicated. Thanks.

Find the form tag on the master page and add the controls to its collection, not to the master pages' controls collection

Not difficult if you read the documentation

i guess this piece of code wud assign the text box the value of the selecte item in the drop down box..

my problem was a bit different, i wanted the value from the database to be reflected in the drop down box..

sorry if i was not able to clarify myself..
