Problems in using System.Convert.ToDateTime(string) method. Please help me.

Hi all,

I have a string s="10/29/2006" (in mm/dd/yyyy format)

I want to convert this string into a datetime value. I used the method

convert.ToDateTime(s)

But I am getting the error "string was not recognised as a valid datetime". Please help me out.

Visual C#19

it should be ok.

have you tried to use TryParse in .NET 2.0 and see if it works

DateTime theOutputResult = new DateTime();

if (DateTime.TryParse("string", out theOutputResult))

{

//datetime parsed. value in "theOutputResult"

}

you could also try using ParseExact.

When converting string into date you should always use ParseExact method of DateTime class.
