    Datetime problem

    In windows 7 am facing the below problem, when converting datetime.


    Code:
    ?Convert.ToDateTime("7/15/2010 9:18:40 AM").ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")
    Run-time exception thrown : System.FormatException - String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

    is there any error in converting.

    Your string is presumably in a format that is not recognised by your current culture. If you want to use a specific format then use a specific format, i.e. call Date.ParseExact and specify the format the string is in.

    Assuming that you typed that into the debugger, I agree with John. I copied / pasted it into my debugger and it worked fine.

    dat1 = datetimepicker1.value

    '" & dat1.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") & "'
