problem with date conversion

[Bob]

Hi,

i want to pass the date/time from one page to another page like this:

firts page:
---------
<asp:HyperLin k ID="HyperLink1 " NavigateUrl="my page.aspx?dat= & 'date.now'"
runat="server"> lijst</asp:HyperLink>

the code-behind of mypage.aspx
---------------------------------
Dim dd As Date
dd = Date.Parse(Requ est.QueryString ("dat"))

this gives the error: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime

Thanks for help
Bob

I suspect your date is getting slashes in it, which in a URL may mess things
up. Try DateTime.Now.To String("yyyyMMd dTHHmmss").

Why dont you try using a session variable. It lives with the user's session.
