Get date value

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the creation date value from the Inventor iProperties. So, because i'm working in VB.Net, i used i MsgBox to show me the value, for me to see it and to see it's format. I was surprised my a Msg that show me "00:00:00", that means that it assumes the date as hours:minutes:seconds, and not the day/month/year as i expected.
The code is next:
Dim asd As Date
asd = Propriedades.Item("Creation Date").Value
MsgBox(asd, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly)

Please...help me!

go to i properties from file menu select the date, then go to .idw or ,dwg file, there u write a text , in text , u"ll file custom and iprperties , select the i properties , go to date and press the arrow icon to appear in your text command , make it o.k, in this way u can also mention your dimensions also.

Kantidhar,

Thanks for the reply!
I didn't understandd your point very well. I'm talking in bringing to a VB MsgBox, the date value, not to pass it to some text in an inventor document....

thanks

The name of the property is actually "Creation Time" (and not "Creation
Date"). Try the following:

Dim asd As Date
asd = Propriedades.Item("Creation Time").Value
MsgBox(asd, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly)

It should output something like:

1/15/2008 3:15:31 PM
