Convert String to date
Hi Experts,
I have a date in string format. I want to display it in a date picker control. I am using the following code.
Dim Stk_Date As String = "20140713"
Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Parse((Stk_Date).
I am getting the error "Unable to cast object of type "System.string" to type "system.IFormatProvider" "
Thank you.

Thank you.
I think you misplaced a parenthesis:
Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Parse((Stk_Date)).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")ASKER
Thank you for your reply. Date is in the database in string format.
Dim Stk_Date As String = Reader.Item("STK_DATE")
Dim Stk_Date As String = Reader.Item("STK_DATE")

It Worked!!! Thank you very much for your help.
That is already a string, using the ToString doesn't make sense. Where do you get this value of 20140713 from?
