DateTime::Parse problem

[Guest]

Hi all,

I'm running, or trying to run, a managed C++ application on the .Net framework 1.0 on a Win 98 SE machine, with intel processor(no other details at this point).

I'm getting the following error, and can't figure out why exactly.

"system.format.exception "String was not recognised as a valid datetime at system.datetimeparse.getdayofnnn( dateTimeResult result.datetime RawInfo Raw.datetimeformatinfo dtfi)"

(This message was read out over the phone so may not be completely accurate)

I've set up a test machine with Win 98 SE os, but can't duplicate the error. Looking at my code, I have a line that reads;

"DateTime:arse(daGolf->m_DateTourneyStarted)" where the value in daGolf->m_DateTourneyStarted = "26/01/04".

I'm guessing the problem must lie in the date value, and if I convert it to "26/01/2004" it might go away. But why hasn't it occured on Win XP, Win ME, or my test machine with Win 98 SE?

Any insight into this would be appreciated.

Regards,

Christo

You need to pass valid format provider to the Parse method - either a
hardcoded one (seems tobe your case as you expect a single format that will
always be the same) or one based on user's locale (which is the default, the
user that runs your code has a different date format setup than what they're
entering).
