[RESOLVED] C# ParseExact

Can you get the if condition in a single line of code?
oa is a dataset.
ACQ_DATE is a column and it could be null.

Code:

---

                if (oa["ACQ_DATE"].ToString() == "")
                {
                    PurchaseDt = DateTime.Now;
                }
                else
                {
                    PurchaseDt = DateTime.ParseExact(oa["ACQ_DATE"].ToString(),"d",provider);
                }

---

purpose? have you considered wrapping into a function?

What is your VS version. what is oa ?. Have you considered using Extensions methods ?

Wrapping into a function will be my last resort.

VS 2010. OA is an OracleDataReader object. What do you mean by extensions methods?

Refer Extension methods in MSDN
