Convert DateTime String to Datetime

The error you say you're getting with option 2 implies that sampledate is already in system.datetime format

even i thought the same but when i pass the value as it is to DB,i gotta an error can't convert type from string to DateTime.

What code are you using to pass to the database

I believe you problem is simple.

string strDateTime = sampledate;

The sampledate variable is a DateTime variable, I believe, not a string. Therefore you need to convert it to string. E.g.,

string strDateTime =  sampledate.ToLongDateString();

Thanks for all your help.

Here is my code

when i try to pass here

 changed the code like below

 string strDateTime = item.StartDate (can't implictly convert type system.datetime?tostring)
 DateTime myDateTime = System.DateTime.Parse(strDateTime);

still throwing error

nothing worked me...but if i use the below code

DateTime strDateTime = System.Convert.ToDateTime(item.StartDate); its not showing any error

but i couldn't understand the value am getting is string or already am getting date time ?

Right now am using the below code...it get in to "TESTOK"


DateTime strDateTime = System.Convert.ToDateTime(item.StartDate);
                string conv=System.Convert.ToString (strDateTime);
                DateTime dateToSave;
                bool canParse = DateTime.TryParse(conv, out dateToSave);

                if (canParse)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Testok");
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Fail");
                }

This is the code

DateTime strDateTime = System.Convert.ToDateTime(item.StartDate);
 string conv=System.Convert.ToString (strDateTime); 
DateTime dateToSave; 
dateToSave = DateTime.Parse(conv); 

Select all Open in new window

Here is the below value am getting "dateToSave = {23/03/1992 12:00:00 AM}" but when it pass it to DB am getting error "Error Converting data type Char to datetime"
