Hi, I have a table in sql where the date format is stored in Hijri. Now I am working on a vb.net application where I have to let the user update that dateField.

So is it possible that if I place a datepicker(which is in Gregorian) and user selects the date and its converts into Hijri date before updating. I mean when the user selects the date and clicks the save button the date should be updated in hijri format in the sql .

For now , the user is entering the date manually on a tms AdvEdit.

Is there any code available to accomplish this task. Thanking you all in advance for your time and consideration.
