Convert String to Date

[jliz2803]

How would I go about converting a string to a date: I have this

 

Dim Dat as DateTime

Dat = Date.FromOADate(6/03/06)

 

but this always returns 8:00:00AM

how do I get it to return 6/03/06 as a date I am doing this because I want to be able to add one day onto this value, I also do not know how to do that. Any suggestions? Thanks

I got it converted to Date with the Basic CDate conversion gosh I'm an idiot, does anyone know how to add 1 day to this value though?

Nevermind I got it with the .AddDays(10) Thanks

Oh my god.

 

You realize that 6/03/06 is not a string.

"6/03/06" is a string.

 

Use DateTime.Parse

My goodness, gracious, great balls of fire.

 

VB also has support for DataTime literals if that helps. Instead of quotes you can use number signs...

Dim TheThirtyFirstOfMayInNineteenNinetyThree As DateTime = [color=Red]#5/31/1993#[/color]

And just to point out...

A post like this, which really has nothing to do with ASP.NET should really go in the general section. Also, it would do you a lot of good to check the object browser, intellisense, MSDN, or do a quick google before posting here so that you don't find yourself answering your own questions this way on a public forum.
