See the Format function in VB's Help files (MSDN).

' Example usage for date format
Debug.Print Format(Date, "yyyymmdd")

' Example usage for time format
Debug.Print Format(Time, "Hh:Nn")

DOH! Still getting used to having VB.NET Forums

vb.net has a lot of inbuilt functions for the job , take a look at the DateAndTime namespace :)
here's a couple of simple examples...

'///time...
Dim time As String = DateAndTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Hours & ":" & DateAndTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Minutes & ":" & DateTime.Now.Second
MessageBox.Show(time)

'///date...
Dim dt As String = DateAndTime.Now.ToShortDateString '/// 18/12/2003
Console.WriteLine(dt)

'/// or
dt = DateAndTime.Now.ToLongDateString '/// 18/December/2003
Console.WriteLine(dt)
