Hi Adam private void Form1_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { string strDate = 2002-10-03; DateTime dtDate = Convert.ToDateTime(strDate); or DateTime dtDate = DateTime.Parse(strDate); MessageBox.Show(dtDate.ToString()); } Thanks

Well .NET only has a DateTime type not a Date type. You can convert a string to a DateTime using one of these methods: Convert.ToDateTime DateTime.Parse DateTime.TryParse Here are the links to the MSDN docs for these methods: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xhz1w05e.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1k1skd40.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.tryparse.aspx
