CDate function:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...vsfctcdate.asp

Check the parameters that CDate is expecting. You may need to do some text
parsing and string manipulation before calling CDate.

[William F. Robertson, Jr.]

You will use the .ParseExact method of DateTime.

Dim dt as DateTime
dt = DateTime.Parse( "10/04", "MM/yy" )

DateTime dtC = DateTime.Parse( "10/04", "MM/yy" );
