for that we have inbuild function call FormatDateTime() .

now we very well knows if we want to get current date and time then we can use now()

<%dim TodayDnT
TodayDnT = now()
%>

if you want the Result of same then use <% Response.write(TodayDnT) %>
so it will return result as : - 8/5/2009 12:11 PM

Response.write FormatDateTime(TodayDnT,0)
%>

Result : - 8/5/2009 12:11:10 PM

Response.write FormatDateTime(TodayDnT,1)
%>

Result :- Wednesday, August 12, 2009 (long date )

Response.write FormatDateTime(TodayDnT,2)
%>
