From a string to a date

Help

Hi.

For your problem, you will want to use ParseExact to convert the string.
There are many examples on this on the forum.

Basically, it would look like this:

Date.ParseExact("14.06.2018", "dd.MM.yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)

EDIT: had a typo

This will only work if the string is in the format that you specify, “dd.MM.yyyy”. So, you will need to maybe surround this by a Try/Catch for times when the string is not a date.

Once it is in a DateTime type you can check the value by using:
yourdatevariable >= Now
et cetera…

Regards.
