Extracting Day, Month and Year values individualy from a date

[oddball]

How do i get the numerical Day component from a Date variable. ie I have a variable declared, and assigned a value as below:

===========================================================

Dim dateofbirth as Date

Dim users As New ASPNetPortal.UsersDB()
Dim dr_id As SqlDataReader = users.GetSingleUser(UserEmail)

dr_id.Read()

dateofbirth = CDate(dr_id("DOB&quot)

dr_id.Close()

dob01.SelectedIndex = ?????????????????

===========================================================

I know need to use the Day value to set the SelectedIndex of a DropDownList, and then do the same for the Month and Year.

Thanks for any help,

cheers,

si

I may be confused as to your question, but won't dateofbirth.day give you the numerical day from your date variable?

You can use the Day, month and year methods of the datetime time.

Dim MyDate As DateTime
Dim MyDay As Integer
Dim MyMonth As Integer
Dim MyYear As Integer
MyDay = dateofbirth.Day
MyMonth = dateofbirth.Month
MyYear = dateofbirth.Year


Hope this helps. NetAngel
