Question

Answer 1

A:

do you need to delimit your date with double-quotes?

MyDate = Convert.ToDateTime("7/16/2010")

as it's converting from string?

Answer 2

+2 A:

DateTime MyDate = DateTime.ParseExact("7/16/2010", "M/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Be aware that the caller might want the current culture not culture invariant.

@Doug, not when that date format is specified. ;-)

My point was that you are making an assumption.

Answer 3

A:

Hi,

DateTime.Parse("7/16/2010");

Enjoy!

Doug 2010-09-15 21:07:28

Be careful. DateTime.Parse relies on the CurrentCulture.
