Uhhh... 1 - What's new about this? 2 - What the heck does this have to do with VB vs. other languages? I can't think of a date class or API that reads the mind of the developer. 3 - What does this have to do with beginner vs. more experienced developers? Is any API or language supposed to read the mind of the developer in order to properly render an only partially-provided date string? Do not beginners and experienced developers alike need to consult the docs in order to use the API/Class Library correctly? What's your point, if any? If you're only here to bash a programming technology, why don't you take your bandwidth-hogging spam elsewhere. I already have to comb through 160+ messages per day here.
