[dba-VB] VB.Net Date/time in specific format

Hi John,

This should be it:

Dim dt as String = string.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd-hhmmss}", DateTime.Now)
Console.WriteLine(dt)

Subject: [dba-VB] VB.Net Date/time in specific format

I need to get the current date / time in a format that does not include 
: or /, IOW "20030123-082347".  I need it in this format for appending 
to a file name so that the name is unique and sorts in the directory.

Has anyone already done this, or know how it is done?  I can get the 
year part etc., but I am not finding hour, minute or second, and I am 
just wondering if someone has code already built.
