Answer 1

If you search for the error you get, you'll find:

This is because, in C#, single quotes ('') denote (or encapsulate) a single character, whereas double quotes ("") are used for a string of characters.

So you'll try:

DateTime foo = "2014,02,20";

Which yields:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.DateTime'

Now if you search for that error, you'll find:

int StartYear = 2012;
int StartMonth = 06;
int StartDay = 15;

DateTime dt = new DateTime(StartYear, StartMonth, StartDay);
