Converting String to date

[Joris De Groote]

Hi,

I have a date: "7/10/2006"
I convert it with this: Convert.ToDateTime(DocumentDatum)
Now I get this: "10/7/2006"
How can I make sure that it doesn't change month & day?

Thanks
Joris

Here's one way
Debug.WriteLine(Convert.ToDateTime("12/3/2006", New
Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB")).ToShortDateString)

Check out 'DateTime.ParseExact'.
