Re: Date time

Dates of that format are ambiguous. It's probably trying to parse this as
MM/dd/yyyy. Clearly this specific date is dd/MM/yyyy but the parser doesn't
try to figure that out. You can use DateTime.ParseE xact, e.g.

DateTime dd = DateTime.ParseE xact("27/09/2003", "dd/MM/yyyy");

See the documentation for DateTime.Parse to see some more flexible examples
of how to do this without explicitly specifying the format.

Re: Date time

DateTime dd = DateTime.ParseE xact
("27/09/2003", "dd/MM/yyyy");

I still get an error :
"(939): No overload for method 'ParseExact' takes '2'
arguments"
