I'm trying to parse a string into a DateTime object. I
want to try using ParseExact to see if I can improve
performance of a frequently-called method (i.e., please
don't suggest using Parse()). My code looks like this:
IFormatProvider fp = new System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo
("en-US");
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseE xact("Mar 9, 2005", "MMM d,
yyyy", fp);
This throws an exception in MatchAbbreviate dMonthName()
(an FCL method). If I look at the CultureInfo object,
there is, in fact, a month called "Mar".
How can I use my custom format with ParseExact?
Thanks!

Dave,
That is very odd - I just tried the code snippet on my machine and it worked
fine?
What version of the Framework are you using? Also, what OS?

Like Nathan, it works for me. What exception is thrown? Have you tried
searching for it on Google?

FCL version 1.1, OS Win2k server.
I don't have repro handy at the moment, but the exception
was FormatException , I think. Whatever it was, it was an
indication that the format string could not be used for
the date string.
I have done a Google search on this and haven't found
anything, which is why I'm posting here. But always a
good idea.

My application asks the user to enter in a date - in the mm/dd/yyyy format. Is there any quick and easy way to verify the date the user enters is formatted correctly?

There is some pretty obvious delay while it traces back up the call stack. Is there a better way? Something that returns a bool...

If I enable debug at C# exceptions, it dutifully breaks and shows me the stack

But, how can I examine the parameters to that call to see what it doesn't like?

Jay and Herfried are telling me every time when I use CDate that using the

They told also that in a business situation it is better to use

How do I use DateTime.Parse or DateTime.ParseExact to create a

I tried this without luck:

// DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(dateString);
// Throws a FormatException exception
IFormatProvider culture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR", true);
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, "dd-mm-yyyy", culture);
Console.WriteLine(dt);

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
