Use Convert.ToDateTime(yourstring) inside a try/catch. If it comes inside the catch, then the passed string is probably invalid.

Andrew,
I believe that would be DateTime.TryParse (if you want just to check)or DateTime.Parse. -- HTH Stoitcho Goutsev (100) "Andrew" <Andrew@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F78BFCB3-6CBB-4E7E-ACB3-4D44F8B13436@microsoft.com... > Hello, guys, > > what is the easiest way to check if a string is in a valid DateTime format > or not in C#.net? > > Thanks. |
