DateTime problem

[Dave]

Hello.

I have some basic problem:
I want to assign to my DateTime object date and time, I wrote:
DateTime d;

d = DateTime.Parse("01/05/2004 10:00:00");

But it assigns only date part (not both date + time).

What I'm doing wrong?

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.

Hi Dave,

I cannot verify your problem as DateTime.Parse("10/05/2004 10:00:00")
correctly parses as May 10th 2004 at 10:00:00 (dd/MM/yyyy)

How do you know it assigns only the date? Are you maybe looking at
the tooltip from the debugger? That only *shows* the date-part!
Try to do a ToString() or get the Hour value.

By the way: your example date, is that "1st of May" or "5th of Jan"?

try this
d = DateTime.ParseExact("01/05/2004 10:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", null);

Also try changing your regional setting for date formate on your computer.
Though not in VS.Net/C#, but I have experienced this in other tools.
