I'm trying to populate a IdataReader.

VB

Private Sub populate(ByVal objread as IdataReader, ByVal objL as DistrictPreviousTrends)
    ObjL.CurrentYear = objRead.GetDateTime(0)
End Sub

But I get the following error

"specified cast is not valid"

What is the type of ObjL.CurrentYear?

it is of Date.

Sneh_Blose 25-Oct-11 16:55pm

Solution 1

Sure, how can you assign between numeric value (ObjL.CurrentYear) and structure System.DateTime?

Most likely, your ObjL.CurrentYear is int. In this case, use

VB

ObjL.CurrentYear = objRead.GetDateTime(0).Year

Anyway, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx[^].
