Convert.ToDateTime stuck

floydus · January 2nd, 2007, 04:24 PM

I'm stuck there.... I get the annoying error
The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is a unknown word starting at index 9.

Can you help, I've tried many ways, simply doesn't work out.
See below my code

Code:

string strDate = "01:39 pm Tues 1-2-2007";
DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
dtfi.ShortDatePattern = "hh:mm tt dddd M-d-YYYY";
dtfi.DateSeparator = "-";
DateTime objDate = Convert.ToDateTime(strDate, dtfi);

Thanks

Hi

Try the code below with some changes in it.

Code:

string strDate = "01:39 pm Tue 1-2-2007";
                DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
                dtfi.FullDateTimePattern = "hh:mm tt ddd M-d-YYYY";
                dtfi.DateSeparator = "-";
                DateTime objDate = Convert.ToDateTime(strDate, dtfi);
