Hi

you can convert string into date with help of Convert function

dim dt as DateTime
dim str as string = "12/12/2006"

dt = Convert.ToDateTime(str)

Then dt have value 12/12/2006

Enjoy.... Smile | :)

what are you passing in your text box???

You have to pass date in mm/dd/yyyy format dear else it will give error

stdate = DateTime.Parse(TextBox1.Text)
Response.Write(stdate.ToString("dd MMM yyyy"))

try this code and pass 10/26/2006 in your text box it will display 26 Oct 2006 so you must pass date in mm/dd/yyyy format as by default it accept date in this format..

Ok so try it and let me know it is working or not
