Is there a way to input a date in the format you want using a one line.like in a console application. u have a writeline statement to input date in the form dd/mm/yyyy.

Do you want to simply take input from the user, or force the user to use a specific format, or take what the user has given and manipulate it into a specific format? Or are you asking about using the DateTime object?

how can i input a date in the format dd/mm/yyyy (in one line, say console.writeline("enter date in format dd/mm/yyyy")).

Also i need to take the date, month and year to further use it in my program to find what day it was. I have written teh program but i can only take in date , month and year separately. is there a way to input date as 15/04/2004?

Store the input as a string and then use Substring method to extract the data and convert it into numerical format.

Then to determine which day of the week, the date entered falls on, use the formula found at the following link to determine which day of the week it is.
