Short date formatting problem

[777axa]

Here is my function:

Public Shared Function NullDisplay(ByVal nDate As Object)
Dim nString As String
If IsDBNull(nDate) Then
nString = ""
Else
nString = nDate.ToString
End If
Return String.Format("{0:d}", nString)
End Function

It returns a long date ( with minutes & seconds).
I don't understand why because on return I'm using short date formatting.

I need short date (1/1/2000)

Where is my mistake?

Thank you

I would use

return nDate.ToShortDate

given that the nDate object is a DateTime var =)
