Convert a string to a datetime

Question

I am developing asp.net site using vb framework 3.5.

Im having difficulties converting string data into Date I tried using

Answer 1

Nobody mentioned this, but in some cases the other method fails to recognize the datetime...

You can try this instead, which will convert the specified string representation of a date and time to an equivalent date and time value

string iDate = "05/05/2005";
DateTime oDate = Convert.ToDateTime(iDate);
MessageBox.Show(oDate.Day + " " + oDate.Month + "  " + oDate.Year );
