Hi John Rai, Seems you are trying to get year seperated from in an DateTime formate. Why cant you try the following code snippet to achieve your requirement? string ar2 = DateTime.Now.Year; Regards, Selva Ganapathy K

hi, I think, this problem of culture. It might be possible your separator is '-' and you are trying to split it by '/'...

Is it possible that this code could sometimes be by-passed which might explain the error? I'd try putting the break-point earlier in the code and then 'single step' from there to see if you can figure out if and why it's being by-passed.

Hi Vuples, If i put breakpoint,its not going there.

To try and get an insight into this error - which is one of the strangest I can recall seeing - can you tell us what you see when you run this code: string current1="02/02/1988"; string[] ar1=current1.Split('/'); int length = ar1.Length; string output = length.ToString() + " :"; for(int i = 0; i { output += " " + ar1[i]; } Respone.Write(output);
