Getting the date portion of the datetime field LastModifiedDate

If I write a string like this: 

 

priorityList += '- ' + writePriority[i].CreatedBy.Name + ' - ' + writePriority[i].LastModifiedDate + ': ' + writePriority[i].Priority_Notes__c;

 What would be the best way to get the modified date to only display 2012-09-14, without the time following?

I would suggest instead:

 

priorityList += '- ' + writePriority[i].CreatedBy.Name + ' - ' + 
   writePriority[i].LastModifiedDate.date().format() + 
   ': ' + writePriority[i].Priority_Notes__c;

 Good luck!

Try something like this to format.

 

*public static Date StringToDate(String s){
      //XML Date String is in the format dd/mm/yyyy
      String[] stringDate = s.split('-');
      Integer d =  Integer.valueOf(stringDate[0]);
      Integer m = Integer.valueOf(stringDate[1]);
      Integer y = Integer.valueOf(stringDate[2]);
      return date.newInstance(y,m,d);
}
