Question

Hi i’m getting an error when using this code

Session("formatdate") = Left(drv.Row("booking_status"), 10)

Session("formatdate").ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")

Can anyone suggest anything? I’m trying to convert my session to a friendly date format but it won’t work

This is the error

Too many arguments to 'Public Overridable Function ToString() As String'.

Thanks

Jamie

Left(drv.Row("booking_status"), 10) returns a String.

There is no overload for String.ToString() that takes a String as a parameter. You might want to try something like:

Session("formatdate") = DateTime.Parse(Left(drv.Row("booking_status"), 10)) _
                                .ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
