          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.

                          Then the format is changed too.

                            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.
