Convert Object type to DataTime?

Dec 21st, 2008

Hi,

Could you please let me know how to convert object type to DataTime. You can refer the below code for more information

internal object Value
{
set
{
DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(value);
this.SelectedDate = (dt == DateTime.MinValue)?null:dt.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
}
}

value being passed to Value property is "19/12/2008 00:00:00".

Regards,
Atheeq

dateTime IS an object.
I'm not shure what you really asked, but I'm inferring you're referring to nullable types. Like this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
 DateTime? dt = new DateTime();
            dt = DateTime.Now;
            dt = null; //you can not do this if you don't use a ? in the declaration.
 DateTime? dt = new DateTime();
            dt = DateTime.Now;
            dt = null; //you can not do this if you don't use a ? in the declaration.
