Still i am getting the Errors.

I got the following Error Message

  
Compiler Error Message: BC30037: Character is not valid.

Try changing the - to / and see if that fixes it. Format wont really work (i think) since its already a string not a number.

hi Edneeis

I got this error ("BC30037: Character is not valid") While Compiling the program. I mean i wrote coding in Command Click Envent. But While running in First Time I got this it menas while compile it is not recognizing no?

So you are saying that if the value you enter is like this: 01/05/2002 it still gives you the error? Which line gives the error?

Line 15:            Sub Clk(obj as Object,E as EventArgs)
Line 16:            Dim s as String

Line 17:             s=Convert.ToDateTime(txtFromDate.value);

Line 18:            lblMsg.text=s
Line 19:

Shouldn't it be more like this:

Sub Clk(obj as Object,E as EventArgs)
   Dim s as Date
   s=Convert.ToDateTime(txtFromDate.Text);
   lblMsg.text=s.ToShortDateString

agin the problem comes to the next spep

BC30456: 'ToShortDateString' is not a member of 'String'

Line 16:            Dim s as String
Line 17:             s=Convert.ToDateTime(txtFromDate.value)
Line 18:            lblMsg.text=s.ToShortDateString
Line 19:

That is correct ToShortDateString is not a member of string, its a member of date. I changed the declaration to date that was the root of the problem. Look back at the post notice:Dim s as Date
