Schema.ini DateTime DGV Date or String ?

[billboy]

I am importing a .txt file to a gatagridview and writing out a Schema.ini file

My columns that contains a date value is empty in my DGV when i use the:
DateTime in my .ini file

If I set it to Char then my date is populated

Does this mean my dates in the text file are not really dates but strings ??

[.paul.]

text files are strings, so your dates in your file are string representations of a datetime

Thanks Paul that would make sense

I added the DateTimeFormat= yyyy-mm-dd line in my schema file and it works

I thought I could set the format it came in and was doing dd-mm-yyyy
