Calendar control a simple and a complicated question

[Cableguy]

Hi guys, Seems like I have lost my touch with the all codding process, so some newbie questions are poping...

First the simple question:
How do I re-set the calendarcontrol to show the today's date?
Now the Complicated one...
How do i "Extract" the date as a string, without the time bit...??
I need to save this string to a file in the same format as the calendars..

Thanks guys

To answer your second question, don't you just need to store the ticks value.
Then when you recall the value you simply format it to show the date.

Sub App_Start
    Form1.Show
    Msgbox(GetDate)
End Sub

Sub SetToday
    Calendar1.Value = Now
End Sub

Sub GetDate
    Return Date(Calendar1.Value)
End Sub

@RandomCoder:
Thanks for your suggestion, but since theese values are going to be written out to a file, I may need to use them as a commom ground for other apps to use, so for me it is best to save them as strings.

Thanks again...
