ssrs - How do I pass multi-value Date parameter to the VB.net 'code' section and return the earliest date selected?

Hi Experts,

I have a muti-value selection list where I want to find the earliest and latest date of the selection list. I believe I will need to do this by passing parameters to the VB.Net "code" to return the two values to me expression.

There is a maximum of 4 dates in this selection list.
The selections are 'Today', '-1month', '-2months', '>-3months'.
E.g. Parameters will send the actual date. ('07/01/2014', '07/12/2013', '07/11/2013')

As it is a multi-select the parameter can contain 1 to 4 date items.

Is there a VB.net function I could use to do this. I am not a VB.Net programmer so this part is a little difficult to do for me.

Let me know how I should do this I expect I will need to use a loop to read the items into an array? How should I declare etc?

Many thanks for your help.

Just in case that you use the apostrophes on your list

 Dim WholeParameters As String = "'07/01/2014','07/12/2013','07/11/2013'"
        Dim List As New List(Of Date)
        For Each DayDate As String In WholeParameters.Split(",")
            List.Add(CDate(Replace(DayDate, "'", "")))
        Next
        List.Sort()
        MsgBox(List(0).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") + " " + List(1).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") + " " + List(2).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"))
