DateTime

[Viorel Ghilas]

Hi all

I have some trouble. I hava configurable date format, for ex. like this
'yyyyMMdd' and I try to convert strings to date time, and .net give me an
error 'string is not recognized as a valid DateTime', my code is:

DateTimeFormatInfo df = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
df.DateSeparator = string.Empty;
df.FullDateTimePattern = mask;
DateTime d = DateTime.Parse("20041012", df);

how to solve this problem

Use DateTime.ParseExact, and provide the date format as one of the
parameters.
