The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Dim dateString As String = "September 1, 2003"
' Declare a variable of type DateTime named aDate.
Dim aDate As DateTime
' Assign a reference to a DateTime object created
' by parsing the string representation of a date
' to the aDate variable.

aDate = DateTime.Parse(dateString)
MsgBox(aDate)

Result: 9/1/2003 12:00:00 AM

name43:

sorry forgot to mention the string "dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss" can be converted to any thing
"dd/MM/yy"
"dd MMM yyyy"
etc

The capital M is needed for month or it mistakes it as minute

The HH represents 24hr and hh represents regular time

Hi
I've write this function for converting string to short date, there are many ways in VB.net so enjoy the flexibility provided by .NET..:)
Function StringToDateConversion(ByVal string_ As String) As DateTime
Dim strToConvert As String 'String Variable
Dim dateResult As DateTime 'DateTime variable

strToConvert = "" 'Just initialize string to null
dateResult = Nothing 'Just initialize date to nothing
'strToConvert = "Thu, Feb 03 2005 10:50 am"
strToConvert = string_
Try
dateResult = FormatDateTime(strToConvert, DateFormat.ShortDate)
Catch ex As Exception
'Check if there is some exception here
Return Nothing
Finally
'and finally destroy objects if any..
End Try
Return dateResult
End Function
