I am getting error While converting the string variable to date format for following methods, please suggest me where i made mistake.

  1. Convert.ToDateTime Method
    Eg:- Convert.ToDateTime(DobStr.ToString)
  2. DateTime.Parse method
    Eg:- DateTime.Parse(DobStr.ToString)

I am able to achieve by using the following expression

DateTime.ParseExact(DobStr,“dd/MM/yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

Hey!

Try like this:

Assign strDate = Datetime.ParseExact(Strinput.ToString, “MM-dd-yyyy”, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)

NOTE:

Where MM-dd-yyyy is the input format
Where dd/MM/yyyy is the output format

So use that one.

If a variable’s datatype is string, you don’t need to put .ToString on the end of it

Can you share with us the DobStr Value? e.g. immediate panel screenshot

this string is parseable with the mentioned option

ensure that dd/MM/yyyy format pattern is always matching the format pattern of your string

Convert.toDateTime, DateTime.Parse, CDate will not handle the dd/MM/yyyy format

So, is your topic solved or what is your further open question on this?
