Srinivas · Answer

This way u can change the data formate and convert to string into data string UrDate = txtPurchase_Dt.Text; System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dateInfo = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo(); dateInfo.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"; DateTime validDate = Convert.ToDateTime(UrDate, dateInfo); This way you can compate the dates in your application. DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(2007, 11, 15); DateTime dt2 = new DateTime(2008, 11, 15); if (DateTime.Compare(dt1, dt2) { } else if (DateTime.Compare(dt1, dt2)> 0) { } Please try this solution. I think it will work.

1st way string strdate = "11/30/2003" ; DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(strdate); or u can also use DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(strdate); 2nd way (this works for the given 3 strings dates) // string strDate="2002-10-03"; // string strDate="10/04/2002"; string strDate="10/05"; DateTime dt = (DateTime)(System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(new DateTime(1990,5,6)).ConvertFrom(strDate)); Hope this will help u out :) Dnt forget to mark as an answer , if it is :)
