Printing today+ current date with different format

Handling date and time formats in ASP using VBScript is easy, we can get the current time or date
which it will be in server side scripting the server data/time. To print the current date (today) :



The output is: 19-5-2012, to print the current date and time (Hour: Minute: Second)


The output is: 19-5-2012 11:34:01, we can customize the format used to print the data/time using function SetLocal function, here we use UK English format.



This code snippet declares two variables, "currentDate" and "LocaleVar". The "LocaleVar" variable is set to the value returned by the built-in SetLocale function, which is used to set the locale for the server. The argument passed to the function (2057) is the LCID (locale identifier) for the United Kingdom. The LCID is a unique number that represents a specific language and region and is used to set the regional settings for the server. The "currentDate" variable is set to the value returned by the built-in Now function, which returns the current date and time. The final line of the code, Response.Write currentDate, writes the value of the "currentDate" variable to the web page using the built-in Response.Write method. This will output the current date and time in the format that is specific to the UK locale. t's worth noting that the SetLocale function is a VBScript function, one of the server-side scripting languages that ASP supports. It's used to change the default locale of the server, it takes one parameter which is the LCID of the locale you want to set. This code snippet demonstrates the usage of built-in functions such as SetLocale and Now to set the locale and get the current date, respectively; it also shows how to write output to a web page in ASP using the Response.Write method.





The SetLocal could takes many values that define the NLS services ( Sorting, Time + Data Formatting) , here is some values :
locales/languages with an assigned Locale ID (LCID). The purpose of the document is to help developers who are defining NLS services (sorting, time/date formatting, and keyboards/IMEs) for locales that do not yet have native support in Windows to avoid conflict.
