public static String toDate(Date d)
{
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(d);
calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1);
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
String fieldDate = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "/" + (calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)) + "/" + calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);

return fieldDate;
}

public static String toDate(long d)
{
Date date = new Date(d);

return Resources.toDate(date);
}

I have never read or write java before so i don't know if i'm correct. if ok you can easily convert to C#

Public Shared Function toDate(ByVal d As Date) As String
            Dim fieldDate As String = ""
           d.AddMonths(1)
            d.AddDays(1)
            fieldDate = d.ToString("d")
            Return fieldDate
End Function
Public Shared Function toDate(ByVal d As Long) As String

            Dim _date As Date = New Date(d)

            Return toDate(_date)
End Function

I even did more than that and converted exactly how java did but was giving me another thing

Look at the code below

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

public class NewClass {
public static String toDate(Date d)
{
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(d);
calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1);
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
String fieldDate = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "/" + (calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)) + "/" + calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);

return fieldDate;
}

public static String toDate(long d)
{
Date date = new Date(d);

return NewClass.toDate(date);
}

}

I consume the class

long mydate=1149617771796l;

Date d = new Date(mydate);

System.out.println("today = " + d);

I got "today = Tue Jun 06 18:16:11 GMT 2006"

In dotnet I did the same thing as below



private function toDate( d as long) as string
Dim sdate As New Date(d)
return sdate
end function


I Consume it with
dim mydate as long =1149617771796l;
console.writeln todate(mydate ))

I got "1/2/1"

Why

Shame on you.

I've simply typed in all of this, so there might be a couple of syntax errors (I doubt it though). I've given three ways to do it, from the worst to the best. Enjoy.

1. This is a direct C# translation of your java code that will do what you want, but is the wrong way to write it.

using System;

public class NewClass 
{
   public static String ToDate(Datetime d)
   {
      return d.Day.ToString() + "/" + d.Month.ToString() + "/" + d.Year.ToString() ;
   }

   public static String ToDate(long d)
   {
      DateTime date = new DateTime(d);
      return NewClass.ToDate(date);
   }
}

2. This is a better way (not the best though):

using System;

public class NewClass 
{
   public static String ToDate(Datetime d)
   {
      return d.ToShortDateString() ;
   }

   public static String ToDate(long d)
   {
      DateTime date = new DateTime(d);
      return NewClass.ToDatete(date);
   }
}

3. If you find yourself getting hammered with the wrong dates, its likely that you are being hit by globalisation / localisation issues; the system running the code is running on could be in a different time zone to what you expect, or it could be in a different locale. This is the proper way to kill that scenario.

using System;
using System.Globalisation;

public class NewClass 
{
   public static String ToDate(Datetime d)
   {
      //convert d to universal time
      d = d.ToUniversalTime();
      // Sets the CurrentCulture British English English.
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB";
      //variable to hold offset from GMT 
      int offsetSpan = -5; //this is for a place that is 5 hours behind GMT
      DateTimeOffset offsetDate = new DateTimeOffset(d, new TimeSpan(offsetSpan, 0, 0));
      //format the string using standard date string formater
      return offsetDate.ToString("d" ;
   }

   public static String ToDate(long d)
   {
      DateTime date = new DateTime(d);
      return NewClass.ToDate(date);
   }
}
