Hi, I need that user to type a date in a text box in yyyy/MM/dd format and then popup a calendar from the typed date. But to parse the date into calendar the whole date should be typed.otherwise it gives date conversion error. I need as an example;-
* if user typed only year then it should be "yyyy/01/01"
* if user type year and month then "yyyy/MM/01" like that.
Assume that user has typed only year(2011). how can i convert a string like "2011" to "yyyy/MM/dd" format.?
Jump to PostWhy not use a DateTimePicker?
To convert a date to another format, have a look at this: http://www.csharp-examples.net/string-format-datetime/
Jump to PostDo it this way:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { DateTime date = DateTime.MinValue; if (!DateTime.TryParse(textBox1.Text, out date)) { string[] strSplit = textBox1.Text.Split('/'); if (strSplit.Length == 1) date = new DateTime(int.Parse(strSplit[0]), 1, 1); else if (strSplit.Length == 2) date = new DateTime(int.Parse(strSplit[0]), int.Parse(strSplit[1]), 1); } MessageBox.Show("Real …

Thank You. I can't use a date time picker here. I need to give a manual date typing option in a text box and then popup a calendar.
Do it this way:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime date = DateTime.MinValue;
if (!DateTime.TryParse(textBox1.Text, out date))
{
string[] strSplit = textBox1.Text.Split('/');
if (strSplit.Length == 1)
date = new DateTime(int.Parse(strSplit[0]), 1, 1);
else if (strSplit.Length == 2)
date = new DateTime(int.Parse(strSplit[0]), int.Parse(strSplit[1]), 1);
}
MessageBox.Show("Real date time is " + date);
}Now you use "date" variable where ever you need to, or to set dateTimePicker control (to set date), or what ever.
Hope it helps,
bye
