How to convert a Date to a formatted string in VB.net?

Question

There seems to be a million questions here on converting a string to a Date, but not vice-versa. When I convert a Date object to a string using mydate.toString

Answer 1

I like:

Dim timeFormat As String = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
myDate.ToString(timeFormat)

Easy to maintain if you need to use it in several parts of your code, date formats always seem to change sooner or later.
