Question

I am getting an exception error, “Input string was not in a correct format.” “Make sure your method arguments are in the right format. When converting a string to DateTime, parse the string to take the date beforeputting each varibale into the DateTime object”.

it is pointing on the last line of this code:

cnaIntakeVSOutputDetail_Intake.Add(new IntakeVsOutput(
facility,
UnitRepository.Units(facility).SingleOrDefault(u => u.Code.Equals(reader.To("UNIT_CODE", ""))),
new Patient()
{
     Account = reader.To("PATIENT_ID", ""),
     MRN = reader.To("MRN", ""),
     Name = reader.To("NAME_FULL", ""),
     Room = reader.To("ROOM_BED", ""),
 },
     reader.To("INFO", ""),
     Convert.ToDateTime(reader["TRDATE"]),
     Convert.ToInt32(reader["MENU_ID"]),
     Convert.ToInt32(reader["VALUE"]),
     null, null, null));

Answer 1

reader["TRDATE"] does not contain a string that Convert.ToDateTime could convert into a DateTime value.

This might be because it is an empty string or DBNull.Value or null.
