String was not recognized as a valid DateTime

[monfu]

Dear All,

 

I have this piece of code:-

 

CType(r.FindControl("calDate"), Calendar).SelectedDate = DateTime.Parse(CType(r.FindControl("txtEvDate"), TextBox).Text())

 

And its giving me an error:-

 

String was not recognized as a valid DateTime

 

How can I solve this?

 

Thanks for your help and time

Thanks mate

 

I used the following

 

Dim myDate As DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(CType(r.FindControl("txtEvDate"), TextBox).Text(), "MM/dd/yy", New DateTimeFormatInfo)

 

and its working fine now.

 

Cheers
