While converting text to datetime I got error..The code is given below...

bjJobBL.JobDate =Convert.ToDateTime("txtDate.Text");

Here the jobdate is declared in the class as

private DateTime? m_JobDate;

Its properties are like this...

public DateTime? JobDate
{
get
{
return m_JobDate;
}
set
{
m_JobDate = value;
}
}

DateTime date = Convert.ToDateTime ("txtDate.Text",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("hi-IN").DateTimeFormat);

if (pnltxtDate.Text != "")
{
objJobBL.JobDate = Convert.ToDateTime(pnltxtDate.Text);//stringToDateConversion(pnltxtDate.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy");
}
else
{
objJobBL.JobDate = null;
}

this works for me...

@Ananth G: Only post one time as a solution, initially. Posting multiple times is not a good approach at helping people. All of your posts can be a single one. I hope you will not abuse the forums anymore. :-)

The only problem is that you are having the value as string. You need to pass it as variable.
bjJobBL.JobDate =Convert.ToDateTime("txtDate.Text"); // Remove ""

// Like
bjJobBL.JobDate =Convert.ToDateTime(txtDate.Text);
This will remove the error in your code.

1. public DateTime stringToDateConversion(string date, string format)
2. {
3. /* Convert Date to Currrnt Culture */
4. DateTimeFormatInfo dateTimeFormatterProvider = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone() as DateTimeFormatInfo;
5. dateTimeFormatterProvider.ShortDatePattern = format; //source date format
6. DateTime NewDate = DateTime.Parse(date, dateTimeFormatterProvider);
7. return NewDate;
8. }

CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
DateTime tempDate = Convert.ToDateTime("1/1/2010 12:10:15 PM", culture);
