    string to date

    i'm looking for a method that will allow me to convert a string to a date.
    can anyone point me into the direction of the answer.
    thank you.

    .NET is quite straightforward:

    Anyway: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...e_methods.aspx

    And specifically: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib....tryparse.aspx

    I wish i could give you a small example, but I'm currently on a pc without vs and I dont like giving out code that im not sure that will work. There might be some examples though on the links I gave you.
