Cast string to DateTime

[mgonzales3]

I have an object string property that is a string. I want to convert to a
DateTime. Any ideas?

DateTime eventDt = ((DateTime)mEvent.EventDt).Date;

Error 1 Cannot convert type 'string' to 'System.DateTime'

[Marc Gravell]

DateTime eventDt = DateTime.Parse(mEvent.EventDt).Date;

You need to use the Parse or ParseExact methods of the DateTime object.

string strTest = "25 May 2006";
DateTime dtmTest = DateTime.Parse(strTest);

DateTime.Parse()
