Question

I am facing an issue when converting the datetime

var date = DateTime.Now;
txtdate.Text = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

//I need to pass it later to as a DateTime variable. When i re-convert it gives me an error)

DateTime dtReconvert =Convert.toDateTime(txtdate.Text);  //Error String was not recognized as a valid DateTim

When i set the datetime to something like “01/01/2013”
and convert it to Date Time it not giving me any error.

Answer 1

Use DateTime.ParseExact with the format "dd/MM/yyyy"

DateTime dtObject = DateTime.ParseExact(txtdate.Text, 
                                        "dd/MM/yyyy", 
                                        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
