Wake up, Cor. We are talking about converting a date to a string only. VB.NET's methods for doing that are not stronger than those provided by the .NET Framework.

I wrote this expressely because you are writting this forever in this way about other functions as Mid, Len, and whatever. 

I use VB.NET's own functions whenever possible.

However when the "parse" comes than you have another opinion.

I hardly ever parse a date without specifying a certain date format. Typically in Windows Forms applications processing user input I prefer a DateTimePicker control for choosing dates over a textbox and string parsing. When reading dates from a file, I use 'DateTime.ParseExact' to make sure the data is read the way I want it to be read on every system.
