Convert.ToDateTime Problem

Support123

Hi all, Yesterday i had the problem when i tried to convert a string to DateTime I wanted to do the following: string _appDate=_CurrentSelectedDate.Date.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd"); string _fromDateTime = _appDate+" "+startTime; string _endDateTime = _appDate+" "+endTime; FromTime = Convert.ToDateTime(_fromDateTime); ToTime = Convert.ToDateTime(_endDateTime); Now in this example the value of _appDate is "2006/11/07" the value of _startTime is "4:00 PM" the value of _endTime is "5:00 PM" That makes the value of _fromDateTime = "2006/11/07 4:00 PM" and the value of _endDateTime = "2006/11/07 5:00 PM" I checked and it is... Now when i try to Convert.ToDateTime for the FromDate and the ToDate The value of FromTime is 7/11/2006 and value of ToTime is 7/11/2006 :confused: on the other computer the values are correct but not on mine... The regional settings are the same... Please help

Oh no sorry... I only get the date back like this... "11/7/2006" I want it to work like it does on the other PC "2006/07/11 4:00:00 PM" It worked on my PC too but i haven't changed the regional settings, i haven't altered the code of this segment...only now to try and fix it. I don't know... :((

Hi, This problem has a whole new twist.... Everywhere in my code where i use the Covert.ToDateTime i have the same problem... it doesn't show me the time any more... only the date but not even in the yyyy/MM/dd format, now it is in the dd/MM/yyyy format. Do you think that if i built the installer and and installed it onto another computer that it would work... I mean there is nothing wrong with the code, it's just weird... i checked the regional settings again => same as the other computer... before i build the installer, and find a pc to install it on... do you think it would work correctly on another PC if it's acting weird on mine?
