Converting String to DateTime

The Parse method is used to convert a string to a DateTime object. The string passed on the Parse method must have a correct DateTime format. Conversion from a DateTime to a string is done using the ToString() method.

The code snippet in Listing 15 converts a string to a DateTime.

 

    Private Sub ConcertStringToDateTime()

        Dim dt As String = "2010-10-04T20:12:45-5:00"

        Dim newDt As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(dt)

        Console.WriteLine(newDt.ToString())

    End Sub
