I am working on converting a VB 2003 to VB 2005 and I have run into this error Conversion from string "'5/01/2006'" to type 'Date' is not valid.

on this peice of code.

VB Code:
  1. MonthStartDate = ("'" & _

  2.         CStr(MonthCalendar1.SelectionStart.Month) & "/01/" & _

  3.         CStr(MonthCalendar1.SelectionStart.Year) & "'")

I know it is a type conversion error but I am not sure how to fix it.
