String Was Not Recognized As A Valid Boolean?
Mar 3, 2009Dim today As System.DateTime
today = System.DateTime.Now
Dim strDate As String = today.ToString("d")

I am trying to parse a date to a datetime picker but this error keeps on appearing "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime" The reason behind this is because the date format of the computer is "MM/dd/yyyy" whereas the date am passing is in this format "dd/MM/yyyy" Here is how I tried resolving the problem:
DTDateReceived.Value = Date.Parse(ListView1.Items.Item(ListView1.FocusedItem.Index).SubItems(7).Text)
The aforementioned error occurs
working with dates is driving me mad I have the following function to parse al datetime strings in my project:
Public Shared Function ToDate(ByVal obj As Object) As DateTime?
If obj = String.Empty OrElse obj Is DBNull.Value Then Return Nothing
Return DateTime.Parse(obj.ToString)
End Function
Most of my date strings on my pc are "yyyy/MM/dd" and it parses fine. However on the server the dates are "dd/MM/yyyy".I tried this but it made no difference:
Public Shared Function ToDate(ByVal obj As Object) As DateTime?
If obj = String.Empty OrElse obj Is DBNull.Value Then Return Nothing
Return DateTime.Parse(obj.ToString, System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat)
End Function
on my pc if I assign DateTime.Now to a textbox I get 2011/05/31 08:02:00 AM for example. On the server I have my project the date displays as 31/05/2011 08:02:00 AM. Now I use objectdatasources to save the values to my database. Yesterday I was getting this error:Cannot convert value of parameter '' from 'System.String' to 'System.DateTime'until I formatted the date value like so:
Me.odsRates.InsertParameters.Add("CreatedDate", rt.CreatedDate.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss"))
I am trying to write a bit of logic that compares a data against todays date in the row datarowbound event of a gridview. I think I am converting the row data item to datatype datetime but visual studio is telling me that I am not!
Protected Sub GvAdDetails_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GvAdDetails.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
If DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "dateLimit").ToString <> "NULL" Then
Dim dateLimit As Date

We have data feed, a file with index values and dates (like the S&P 500, for instance). The dates are represented as YYYYMMDD. The Date.Parse() method doesn't understand this format, of course.I wrote a simple static method on a class to parse this, not a big deal, but it irritates the engineer in me that I can't figure out how to get the IFormatProvider functionality to work. All the examples deal with the FORMATTING step, not the PARSING step.So basically, I want to be able to say:
Dim d as DateTime = Date.Parse("20110522", New CustomFormatter())
and get the correct date value out of the Parse method.
Having implemented the IFormatProvider method on CustomFormatter, the GetFormat() method gets called with a System.Type of DateTimeFormatInfo, but I honestly have no idea what to do from there since all the example deal with formatting, not parsing. It doesn't matter if I return an object (self) or null I simply get "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
I'm creating an XML file from values contained in a datatable. When I try to write an XML date value, I receive "String not recognized as a valid datetime. The dates that are stored in the datatable column is in this format "yyyymmdd". I tried to use XmlConvert.ToDateTime but I get a warning about the method being obsolete and I'm not sure what serialization mode I should use. How would I format the date from the datatable to MM/dd/yyyy and write to an XML file?
XmlWriter.WriteElementString("Add date", XmlConvert.ToDateTime(dr("Date_Added").ToString.Trim)))
I am having a major issue understanding why this code runs fine once and then when run a second time causes the "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime." exception. This program loops through folders and subdirectorys and retrieves the file dates from the last modified date of the file , Its only when i click New Report to reset all the values in the settings which clears all object lists and resets all the other values that this issue occurs.
This is the value being passed to this function:
#6/14/2011 4:46:51 PM# (The file inside the subdirectory,s last modified date.)
The function is
Public Sub setFileDate(ByVal fileDate As DateTime)
'Format the datetime from the filedate to a UK culture.
Dim myDateTime As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(fileDate, ukCulture.DateTimeFormat)
'Set the current files date.
dFileDate = myDateTime.Date

I want to convert mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy.My application is asp.NET with VB.I tried following code DateTime.Parse(oldDate.ToString("ddmmyyyy"))

I've been having several problems lately with clients that are using a different Windows Region setting than I am. The error is as follows:
The type initializer for 'InventoryDataTable' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'InventoryDataTable' threw an exception. ---> System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
The error occurs when users load the application and their region settings do not match my own. The application loads up a dataset and attempts to receive a small amount of data before allowing the user to log in. When this is removed, the problem occurs immediately after the user logs in to the app. I cannot seem to find the proper settings to force the user to use either my Region, or to allow the application to figure it out on it's own...

View 5 RepliesAm using vb.net 2008 and sql2008 and I want to loop thru frmMovement.DataGridView1 and the checked rows shd get populated into frmMovementReceivedFiles.DataGridView2. But I used Cbool, Boolean.TryParse to convert the the checked value but I still get but still the error: "Conversion from string "" to type 'Boolean' is not valid"
The code is as follows. Or ss there anyway to loop thru the checkboxes and populate them in another DatagridView2?

If I try to put a string into a Boolean variable such as this:
Dim testValue As String = "True"
Dim bool1 As Boolean = testValue
With Option Strict On I get an error and the suggested fix is to change the second line to:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = CBool(testValue)
This is fine, But - what are the advantages / disadvantages of doing this instead:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = Boolean.Parse(testValue)
I've got a routine that checks a website my my external address. What I'd like to do is loop through the string just to get the first 15 numbers and full stops (periods). But that isn't my question, my problem is I've got this routine that isn't building because of a string conversion issue. I don't know how to correct it.

I encountered due to a coding error a behaviour I can't explain.In one line I have an implcit conversion from a string to a boolean value:
Class myClass
Public Property myString() as Boolean
Return "123" '<= Implicit Conversion occurs here
End Property
End class

Are there any differences in the behaviour between the .NET Versions?The code is compiled against .NET 2.0 with implicit conversion on.

From what I read it is a good convention to name a method that returns a boolean value with the prefix of "is" or "has". So in keeping with this convention I am trying to name a method in my program with this prefix but I am running Specifically I have a class called Day. It is a simple class with a few data members and one method that returns a boolean value of true or false. The name of the boolean variable is isSpecialDay. This class has a method called isSpecialDay which takes the date of the day, applies some criteria to the date and then sets the variable isSpecialDay to true or false. My problem is that the boolean variable is named isSpecialDay and so it the method. What should I do?
Public Class Day
Private TheDate as String
Private DayName as String
