Hello

try this:

VB

Dim str As String = Nothing
Dim strArr As String() = Nothing
str = "2011-10-20T20:49:59-0400"
strArr = str.Split("T")

Dim converted As String = String.Format("{0} {1}", DateTime.Parse(strArr(0)).ToString("MMMM-dd-yyyy"), strArr(1))

Of course, it's better to use TryParse instead of Pars and handle unknown formats.

Solution 2

Use this code:

INSTDATE.ToString("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm:ss")
