title: Newbie - datepicker and to string VB
body: <p>I know this is a really basic question but i'm just starting with VB Studio and this is straight out of the book.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    MsgBox("Your birth date was " &amp; DateTimePicker1.Text)
      MsgBox("Day of the year: " &amp; DateTimePicker1.Value.DayOfYear.ToString())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I expected the ToString to convert the integer value to a text value of the date but it still returns the nummerical value.  If I watch it is actaully returns the numercial value as a string eg "20".  I have tried to find some info online but i get the same peice of code back that i'm using.</p>
  
  <p>Are there compatabitiy issues with date picker and Win7 (64bit) or am i missing some simple configuration.</p>
  
  <p>I'd appreciate any support on this simple problem.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you
  Damian</p>
