    DateTime dtDate = Convert.ToDateTime(strDate);


    "Convert" is a class in a "System" namespace.

    'Make sure that your date is correct, if you try for example to do "11/31/03"
    'you will get an error because november only has 30 days to it the correct string
    'is "11/30/2003"


    dim dateString as string = "11/30/2003"


    dim convertedDate as Date = CDate(dateString)

    How can i get just date part (22/12/2003) out of datetime(22/12/2003/ 1:23:00 PM) without convert to string datetypes (ShortDateString etc).
    for instance if ur passing datetime parameters to stored procedures that perform search based on dates supplied.
    Passing dates with time would not show last record coz it compares with time too.

    I've tried this piece of code:


    DateTime startTime;


    start = Convert.ToDateTime(startTimePicker.Text);


    Console.WriteLine(startTime.ToLongTimeString());


    The problem with this is that the results are string values but i want the actual time value in order to be able to use it to compare times to prevent overlaps in meeting times.

    'Converts the date in format dd/MM/yyyy to date format in MM/dd/yyyy

    Dim stDate As String = "31/12/2006"

    Dim dtDate As Date

    dtDate = DateTime.Parse(stDate, Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(

    "en-CA"))
