Question

I have the following code:

Dim dtDoM As Nullable(Of DateTime)
If (txtMarriageDate.Text.Trim = "") Then
            dtDoM = Nothing
        Else

            dtDoM = DateTime.ParseExact(txtMarriageDate.Text.Trim + " 00:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
            'dtDoM = Convert.ToDateTime(txtMarriageDate.Text)
        End If

On the commented out section I was getting FormatException ‘String not recognized as datetime’ and on the new code I’m getting “System.FormatException = {“The DateTime represented by the string is not supported in calendar System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar.”}”

EDIT: Answered. Can’t believe I overlooked that.

Answer 1

Your date (01/25/1955) is in MM/dd/yyyy format, you’re using dd/MM/yyyy in your format string.

Try using this: "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"
