OK, can you show us how 'mydate' is declared because I don't see "index"

okey dokey - I'll post it up this evening, its on my laptop at home at the
moment....if its of any help - I can roughly remember (but will still post
this evening).,..

My "User" class has a class variable

Private _profileLastUpdated AS Date

I also have a property for that..

Public Property ProfileLastUpdated As Date
Get
...
Set
..
End Property

I populate this via my data access layer....

Where I have a function that populates a datatable, a item is taken from the
row and pushed into the property of my User class...

Something like this:

User.ProfileLastUpdated = DataTable.Rows(0).Item("ProfileLastUpdated")

I think thats about it - as I said I'll post the code up propertly this
evening, but that all feels familiar to me....

On the web page I then have a label which I populate on my page load (or at
least a function called from the page load)....

lblProfileLastUpdated = "Last updated: " & User.ProfileLastUpdated

that would give me...

I basically want to lose the seconds from that - and a character mangling
solution wasn't really what I wanted (ie, using LEFT / RIGHT / LEN) -as I'd
used the format part of .ToString before I assumed it would work fine here
too...

I tried to mimic your setup but I still get the option to
provide a format string. I just know this is gonna be
something so simple we'll both kick ourselves.
