DateSeparator Property (DateTimeCellType)

In This Topic

Gets or sets the string that separates the portions of a date value.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property DateSeparator As String

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DateTimeCellType
Dim value As String
 
instance.DateSeparator = value
 
value = instance.DateSeparator

public string DateSeparator {get; set;}

Property Value

String containing the character for separating the parts of the date

Remarks

The date separator divides the portions of the display of the date value, separating the year, the month, and the day. For example, in the date value "06/17/02", the slash (/) character is the separator.

Specify the format in which dates are displayed by setting the DateTimeFormat property.

Example

This example sets up a cell on the first sheet as a date-time cell and specifies some of the properties available.

FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType datecell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType();
datecell.AMString = "a.m. (morning)";
datecell.PMString = "p.m. (evening)";
datecell.DateSeparator = " | ";
datecell.TimeSeparator = ":";
datecell.DateTimeFormat = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeFormat.ShortDateWithTime;
datecell.MaximumDate = new System.DateTime(2010, 1, 1);
datecell.MinimumDate = new System.DateTime(1990, 12, 31);
datecell.MaximumTime = new System.TimeSpan(15, 59, 59);
datecell.MinimumTime = new System.TimeSpan(11, 0, 0);
datecell.SpinButton = true;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[7,2].CellType = datecell;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[7,2].Value = System.DateTime.Now;

Visual Basic

Dim datecell As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType()
datecell.AMString = "a.m. (morning)"
datecell.PMString = "p.m. (evening)"
datecell.DateSeparator = " | "
datecell.TimeSeparator = ":"
datecell.DateTimeFormat = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeFormat.ShortDateWithTime
datecell.MaximumDate = new System.DateTime(2010, 1, 1)
datecell.MinimumDate = new System.DateTime(1990, 12, 31)
datecell.MaximumTime = new System.TimeSpan(15, 59, 59)
datecell.MinimumTime = new System.TimeSpan(11, 0, 0)
datecell.SpinButton = True
fpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(7,2).CellType = datecell
fpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(7,2).Value = System.DateTime.Now
