converting string to date

[pvenkatesh2k4]

hi to all i need to convert string to date. it shows invalid string format for parsing
here is my code:

string s="13/07/07" //in dd/mm/yy format

DateTime d=DateTime.Parse(s) //actually system time is in mm/dd/yyyy format

but this statement shows an error"String was not reconized as a valid Datetime"

Hi,

Yes, you have to rearrange the string in the format "MM/DD/YYYY".

Dear Write down the following Code...
First add name space Globalisation using

using System.Globalization;

then to convert given string(31/12/2008) to a date write down following
two line code.

CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");

DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime("31/12/2008",culture);

Now 31/12/2008 which one pass a string now convert to date
but this date is in mm/dd/yyyy format not in dd/mm/yyyy format.

I hope this is useful to u...

Bye.....Take Care.....Enjoy Coding
