Parse DateTime and Boolean

[shapper]

Hello,

How can I parse (or at least try) the following:

- A String representation of a DateTime to a DateTime
- A String representation of a Boolean to a boolean

Thanks,
Miguel

DateTime.Parse
DateTime.ParseExact
DateTime.TryParse
DateTime.TryParseExact
bool.Parse
bool.TryParse

DateTime.TryParse (many overloads)
DateTime.Parse(many overloads)
bool whatever = (expression)

DateTime.Parse
DateTime.ParseExact
DateTime.TryParse
DateTime.TryParseExact
bool.Parse
bool.TryParse

And also Convert.ToXXX

Of course, it also depends on the exact string representation of date
and boolean. E.g. I'm sure that Boolean.Parse() can handle "true" or
"false" case-insensitively, but I'm not so sure about e.g. "yes/no",
if that is needed.

I'm quite sure, for boolean, a switch construct might be a far better
solution ...

I'm pretty sure Boolean cannot handle yes/no or 1/0. So sure that I wrote a
utility class method to do just that....

DateTime.Parse
DateTime.ParseExact
DateTime.TryParse
DateTime.TryParseExact
bool.Parse
bool.TryParse

This was exactly what I needed. I am using:
Boolean published;
article.Published = Boolean.TryParse(request.Form.Get
("Published"), out published),

Thank You,
Miguel
