' Format Function Example

 

' This example shows various uses of the Format function to format values

' using both named and user-defined formats.  For the date separator (/),

' time separator (:), and AM/ PM literal, the actual formatted output

' displayed by your system depends on the locale settings on which the code

' is running.  When times and dates are displayed in the development

' environment, the short time and short date formats of the code locale

' are used.  When displayed by running code, the short time and short date

' formats of the system locale are used, which may differ from the code

' locale.  For this example, English/United States is assumed.

 

' MyTime and MyDate are displayed in the development environment using

' current system short time and short date settings.
