Hi William,
I have reached the conclusion that something is corrupted somewhere. I even
tried
DateTime dt = System.Convert.ToDateTime("fishcakes");
and got the same error as below, it didn't even try to convert it.
Using C# on XP Pro SP2, US English, P4 2.6

System.IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled
Message="Index was outside the bounds of the array."

| Hi Otis,
|
| I pasted the code you gave me into a console application, ran it and got
the
| exact same error. It would seem to make sense that it is not in the
datetime
| convert function, however what array is it talking about?
|
| The error seems to originate from mscorlib.dll. Does that make any
sense?
I
| have a clean install of XP pro with .NET 2.0 on it. I had this problem
on
my
| other machine and I orginally thought it was because I had .NET 1.1 and
.NET
| 2.0 on the same machine.
|
| I have done this datetime conversion function many times with .NET 1.1,
so
| that is why I am so baffled.
