I think just about every beginning developer thinks about writing a time management application. There are plenty of examples because most of them think theirs is the best thing ever and want to share their exceptional work. There are also a plethora of examples of using DataGrid, you just have to do a simple search.

True. But since we're lousy at time management, we never complete one.

How to convert with DateTime.ToString() method given date to yyyy\MM\dd format?
e.g. "2011\06\17"
I would not like to use String.Format(@"{0:D4}\{1:D2}\{2:D2}")

This code will not work.

If you have this string date = DateTime.Now.ToString(@"yyyy\MM\dd"); again wrong format because you will get this result 2011M6d17

You can try this string dateformat = DateTime.Now.ToString(@"yyyy\\MM\\dd").Replace("\\",@"\");

The .Replace is bothering me because "\\" is the same as @"\".
Maybe you meant @"\\" instead of "\\".

I released that isn't necessary to use Replace so just using @"yyyy\\MM\\dd" will give correct format 2011\06\17

silly question about access dba connection

I'm having a mind blank right now, and I have googled for the answer, I can seem to come up with it.

as an example;

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\mydatabase.mdb;User Id=admin;Password=;

The source "database" will stay the same, the location may change. I think I did it on a project where it was "*\new folder\mydatabase.mdb" for the source, but I can't think of it off hand (nor find).

Anyone come across this? Is this the correct forum?

Thanks.

This made the job, just some info for anyone else, using this with topmost property to true will not work, i think this is a bug on windows forms

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
