Hi,
I have a string with this value 07/11/2008. As you see no time included.
How can I parse this string to a datetime variable? I tried to do this but I
get the exception that the format is incorrect.
Any ideas?
I tried both convert... and datetime.par...
Thanks again!

Did you try the ParseExact() method? I would expect that to work fine.

I tried this but it did not work.
DateTime.ParseE xact(Request.Fo rm["date"], @"MM\/dd\/YYYY", null);

Try with yyyy instead of YYYY.

No, of course that wouldn't. :) First, you are trying to escape
characters in a string that you've declared as an unescaped literal.
Second, you need lower-case y's, not upper-case.
Try:
DateTime.ParseE xact(Request.Fo rm["date"], "MM/dd/yyyy", null);
Note that since a forward slash is not a special string formatting
character, you don't need escaping _or_ the use of the @ symbol for the
string.

It is a special DateTime formatting character !

Hmm... maybe I'm blind... I still get the error message. :(
string data = "07/17/2008";
DateTime date = DateTime.ParseE xact(data, "MM/dd/yyyy", null);
Response.Write( date);

Keep the escaping.
/ in a DateTime format string means current date separator and
may not be '/' - with my settings it is '-'.

Aha! Thanks... now it works. :)

Keep the escaping.
And the @ (the string won't compile otherwise). Alternatively, use the
invariant culture instead of "null".
Sorry, I overlooked the issue Arne's talking about, as my own system
settings use / for the date separator.

Hi,
I need to read a big CSV file, where different fields should be converted to
different types,
such as int, double, datetime, SqlMoney, etc.
I have an array, which describes the fields and their types. I would like
to somehow store a reference to parsing operations in this array
(such as Int32.Parse, Double.Parse, SqlMoney.Parse, etc),
so I can invoke the appropriate one without writing a long switch.

I'm sure there's a good explanation for this, but I can't figure it out.
I tried using DateTime.Parse() with a custom DateTimeFormatInfo instance,
in which I'd replaced the DateTimeFormatInfo.FullDateTimePattern property
with my custom format string:
DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi =
(DateTimeFormatInfo)DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantCulture.Clone();
dtfi.FullDateTimePattern = "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss zzz";
