    It seems to me that your job is really really hard... :omg: I have no words for the code snippet you presented - at least none that I will use in public. It is enough that one has to use the word guess when it comes to source code. This IMHO says it all. Poor you. Regards Thomas

            You are wrong. It runs the same thing it gets as input. I was getting an error and i had to debug the code when i found it. that after doing all that stuff it was doing no change to original values. Surprised???? ;P

              Assume that pTimeText is containing 2 dates seperated by space. Like pTimeText = "31/12/2008 15:36 29/12/2008 15:36"

              this.txtTime.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(pTimeText.Substring(0, pTimeText.IndexOf(":") + 3)).ToString(Logic.DateConfigurer.DateFormatWithTime) + Environment.NewLine + Convert.ToDateTime(pTimeText.Substring(pTimeText.IndexOf(":") + 3)).ToString(Logic.DateConfigurer.DateFormatWithTime);

              Guess what will above code return. I found it in a file.

              What will you call this? A mess. Needs to be cleaned up and broken down a bit.

                    Actually, "that" removes the 'seconds [and milliseconds]' part from entered datetime, so "2008-11-10 08:00:30.123" => "2008-11-10 08:00:00". Ugly, I agree.

                        Depends on what "Logic.DateConfigurer.DateFormatWithTime" is.

                              Code Reviewer: "wtf dude?!" Programmer: "ah... but it works!" indeed, if code written like THIS can actually work, than there must be some king of supreme being..

                                *points and laughs* Pointless. Really. The DateTime class can can convert a string to date. Separating the both dates must be done manually, but the conversion can be done by the DateTime class.
