How to input date in mail subject in vb
In VB, you can input a date in the subject of an email using the Format
function to convert the date to a string in the desired format. Here's an example:
Dim dt As Date = Now()
Dim subject As String = "Meeting on " & Format(dt, "yyyy-MM-dd")
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.Subject = subject
'... rest of your email code...
In this example, Now()
returns the current date and time, and Format(dt, "yyyy-MM-dd")
converts it to a string in the format "yyyy-MM-dd" (e.g. "2023-03-15").
You can also use other date formats, such as "dd MMM yyyy" (e.g. "15 Mar 2023") or "dd MMMM yyyy" (e.g. "15 March 2023"). Just replace the format string in the Format
function with the desired format.
Alternatively, you can use the DateTime.ToString
method to format the date:
Dim dt As Date = Now()
Dim subject As String = "Meeting on " & dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.Subject = subject
'... rest of your email code...
This will also produce the same result as the previous example.
