Date & time

[[Yosi]]

DateTime dd = DateTime.ParseExact
("27/09/2003", "dd/MM/yyyy");

I still get an error :
"(939): No overload for method 'ParseExact' takes '2'
arguments"

-----Original Message-----
Dates of that format are ambiguous. It's probably trying to parse this as
MM/dd/yyyy. Clearly this specific date is dd/MM/yyyy but the parser doesn't
try to figure that out. You can use DateTime.ParseExact, e.g.

DateTime dd = DateTime.ParseExact ("27/09/2003", "dd/MM/yyyy");

See the documentation for DateTime.Parse to see some more flexible examples
of how to do this without explicitly specifying the format.

As suggested before, look up DateTime.ParseExact in the documentation.

You'll find it takes either three or four parameters. You probably want
the version taking three - there are examples in the MSDN for what you
might want to use.

Sorry, forgot the IFormatProvider parameter:

DateTime dd = DateTime.ParseExact("27/09/2003", "dd/MM/yyyy", null);
