What,s the .Net equivalent to Excel VBA's format(x,"dmm

[madwab]

I know this is getting a bit off topic, but I'm just starting with VB.Net and haven't yet found a forum as useful as this one - recommendations gratefully received...

In Excel VBA I can get today's date to display as 28Nov05 with

Msgbox (Format(Now(),"dmmmyy")).

Just to get a UK date in VB.Net, I've had to code

Msgbox (Now().Day.ToString() & "/" & Now().Month.ToString() & "/" & Now().Year.ToString())

...which gives a "dd/mm/yy" format, but I'm sure there's a simpler way; and neither my book, nor te help files, nor Google has revealed how to change '11' to 'Nov'. Any .Net .Nutters out there?

Thanks!

And the answers are

a. Use vbforums.com for VB questions

b. Now().ToString("dMMMyy") formats now appropriately.
