How to pass values to a dateTimePicker control

Hello everyone,
i have a String^ in the format of DD/MM/YYYY and i wanna pass that value to set the date of a dateTimePicker control.
i know the code is

Code:

---

dateTimePicker1->Value = DateTime(YEAR, MONTH, DAY);

---

but my problem is splitting the date String^ into 3 seperate strings(YEAR, MONTH, DAY).

I need help on how to do this. Mind you, sometimes the string format is
D/MM/YYYY (like today 4/11/2007) and other times
DD/MM/YYYY (eg 25/10/2007).
Same applies to the month,
DD/M/YYYY(10/1/2007) and
DD/MM/YYYY(10/12/2007).

Thank You.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void SeparateStrings(char *inputDate, char *outDay, char *outMonth, char *outYear)
{
    int i = 0;
    int j = 0;
    int k = 0;
    int flag = 0;

    while (inputDate[i] != '\0')
    {
        if (flag == 0)
        {
            if (inputDate[i] == '/')
            {
                flag = 1;
                outDay[i] = '\0';
            }
            else outDay[i] = inputDate[i];
        }
        else if(flag == 1)
        {
            if (inputDate[i] == '/')
            {
                flag = 2;
                outMonth[j] = '\0';
            }
            else outMonth[j++] = inputDate[i];
        }
        else outYear[k++] = inputDate[i];
        i++;
    }
}

int main(void)
{
    char szDay[128] = {0};
    char szMonth[128] = {0};
    char szYear[128] = {0};
    SeparateStrings("4/11/2007", szDay, szMonth, szYear);
    printf("%s  %s  %s\n", szDay, szMonth, szYear);
    SeparateStrings("25/10/2007", szDay, szMonth, szYear);
    printf("%s  %s  %s\n", szDay, szMonth, szYear);
    SeparateStrings("10/1/2007", szDay, szMonth, szYear);
    printf("%s  %s  %s\n", szDay, szMonth, szYear);
    SeparateStrings("10/12/2007", szDay, szMonth, szYear);
    printf("%s  %s  %s\n", szDay, szMonth, szYear);
    return 0;
}
