Dear all,
I have the following:
dim tmpString as String = "11/21/2004 07:55:33"
dim tmpDate as Date = CDate(tmpString)
But I keep getting <cast from string "11/21/2004 07:55:33" to type 'Date' is
not valid.> Is there anything that I did wrong?
Thanks.

Use 'DateTime.Parse' or 'DateTime.ParseExact' and specify an appropriate
'CultureInfo' object. If you don't know the culture of the date format, use
'CultureInfo.InvariantCulture' + an explicit date/time format string in
'DateTime.ParseExact'.

The OP wanted to know how to go from a string to a date. You show how to go
from a date to a string to a date. If he had the date in the first place
would he need to ask his question? Does that make sense?

JD, The OP wanted to know how to go from a string to a date. You show how to
go
from a date to a string to a date. If he had the date in the first place
would he need to ask his question? Does that make sense?
Do you mean he wants to hard code in this way a date in his program. I
assume you don't do it that way and I assume the OP does not do that either.
In my opinion his datestring can come from a document or a textbox or
whatever and is he just giving it as an example.
Therefore I show a sample that works in every culture.

Exactly. The OP starts off with a *string* that can come from anywhere. So
how does your example help him when in your example you start off with a
*date* not a *string*?

Why do you think that you understand that in the sample that string is first
made and the OP does not?

Because the OP is asking how to convert a *string* to *date*. Why do you
think he has a date first?

Can you give the exact answer for that.

Thats called *validation*, the OP was not trying to *validate* the string,
he was trying to *convert* the date string.
JD,
Maybe you still don't understand it, however in my culture as in a lot of
others is the string he showed the same invalid as "JD" Thats called *validation*, the OP was not trying to *validate* the string,
he was trying to *convert* the date string.
And because there are not only visitors from the US here, I showed it in a
way that it would work in all cultures. This newsgroup is used for reference
as well.
Maybe you find it rude, however I don't add anything more to this thread.

I perfectly understand the culture differences but you are clearly still
confused. The question at hand was "how to convert a string, in a specific
culture format, to a date". Herfried's reply was correct. Your example
showed "how to convert a date to a string, back to a date again", which
really doesn't make sense when you can recieve date strings from around the
world through web services, files, etc., all with different formats.

How would it work if the string is read from a file?
Your sample doesn't show how to convert a date string in a certain
(uninfluencable) format to a 'Date'.
