converting date from uk to us

[evvo1961]

hi

this should be easy but cant get a solution to work, tried changing localte to us and using datetime.parse (mm/dd/yyyy) but no joy...

im accepting a date in a textbox as dd/mm/yyyy

unfortunately the server locale is set to US so a date such as 23/04/2008 causes it to error as its thinking 23 is the month.

i need to swap the dd and mm round before adding to db.

whats the way to do this?

date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

That could help you out. I formats the date string in that format

How about changing your UI culture to en-GB ?

There is a method that accepts to parameters:

DateTime.Parse (string s, IFormatProvider provider)

The second parameter supplies culture-specific format information about date format.

Examples:

DateTime.Parse ("04/23/2008", new CultureInfo("en-US"));
DateTime.Parse ("23/04/2008", new CultureInfo("fr-FR"));
