Hi all,

I've developed an interactive utility that can assist in the development of
custom datetime format specifier strings. In addition to enumerating the
options it will show how a combined set of options can be rendered. I plan
on fleshing out the series to the other format specifier permutations as
well, but this one was the toughest nut to crack so I did it first. It took
a lot of time to develop and I feel pretty good about it as a reference;
there is no way that I could retain the knowledge MMM is the three letter
version of the month ;-)

in MSDN

Hi George,

No buzzkill recieved :-)

I have no grand illusions that a simple web utility will provide a more 
comprehensive knowledge than MSDN, which I think is the best documentation 
for developers ever written. I really do. I use it all the time. My stuff is 
intended as a quick reference.

I don't know about you, but  there a thousand little details about how to do 
this or that on the platform on on the web in general that are jumbling 
around and many of them delete themselves after an inactivity period. I need 
lots of cheat sheets.  ;-)

John
