it depends on the date format u accept from the user... i mean....what is the string u get from the user in txtDate.Text?? if it is of type say....July 24, 1983 then cDate(txtDate.Text) works fine.... check it out.....

Try System.DateTime.Parse(string s) for the format u have.

Hiii, System.DateTime.Parse(string s), this going to work only if the input string format is "MM/dd/yyyy" so try to convert the input string to "MM/dd/yyyy"

or you can use DateTime dt = new DateTime(Year, Month, Day), you must convert the txtDate.Text to three string first
