Retrieving a DateTime value from a DataRow (C#)

Question

How can I get DateTime value in C# from row, the current code is giving me error any help is appreciated, the data is coming in from progress database:

Answer 1

DateTime.Parse(r["FISS"].ToString()) is the way to go, but it throws a "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime" error. Could you show the actual string in the r["FISS"] column, it might be a internationalisation problem....
