In the past couple of years I, and my colleague, have created several online communities (quite successful ones i might add) and two fairly important parts of these communities are the forums and chatrooms. If you've used online forums/message boards before then you've probably noticed that the majority of them use a swear filter / language filter.

Data integrity is one of those tedious, horrible tasks no one really wants to do. After all, when you have a form with 20 fields worth of data coming in from a form post who really wants to check that the email address is properly formatted, or that a telephone doesnt contain any letters or symbols!?

Displaying times in asp is quite a fiddly affair. Theres a lot of different ways of displaying ASP dates and times. Using FormatDateTime you can output data as just the date, just the time, a mixture, 24 hour time format, 12 hour time format etc etc. One very useful tip for doing this in projects is to create yourself a little function such as the one found below.
