using and converting date and time values vbscript

some Shortcuts you should know before beginning:
DateInterval:
yyyy for Year
q for Quarter
m for Month
y for Year
d for Day
w for Weekday
h for hour
n for Minute
s for second

but lets start with the functions:

now
returns the actual date and time
Example: wscript.echo now
Output: 10.12.2008 20:36:54 (tt.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss)

date
the function date displays the actual date
Example: wscript.echo date
Output: 10.12.2008 (tt.mm.yyyy)

time
the function time displays the actual time
Example: wscript.echo time
Output: 20:26:08 (hh.mm.ss)

CDate
converts a date and time variable into the standard date and time format:
Example:
d="12,10,2008"
wscript.echo cdate(d)
Output:10.12.2008

isdate
used to test if a variable has a valid date format
Example:
d="12.10.2008"
if isdate(d) then
wscript.echo "date is valid"
end if
Output:date is valid
(the output of isdate(d) is -1 if the date is valid and 0 of not)

DateAdd
to add an value to an existing date
Syntax: Date(DateInterval,number,date)
Example: wscript.echo dateadd("m",1,"10.12.2008")
Output: 10.01.2009 (the function adds one month to the existing date)

datediff
displays the difference between 2 dates
Syntax: Datediff(DateInterval,date1,date2)
Example: wscript.echo datediff("m","10.12.2008","10.03.2009")
Output: 3 (10.03.2009 minus 3 month is 10.12.2008)
the Variable Interval is the same as in dateadd

datepart
returns a part of a date
Syntax:datepart(DateInterval, date)
Example: wscript.echo datepart("m","10.12.2008")
Output: 12 (displays the month of the date)
the Variable Interval is the same as in dateadd

dateserial(year,month,day)
used to calculate a specific date
Example:wscript.echo Dateserial(2009-1,12-2,22-11)
Output:11.10.2008

datevalue

Example: wscript.echo formatdatetime(time,4)
Output: 20:30 (displays a time using hh:mm)
