In a textbox a date is entered. How can you check if this is a valid date or infact a date at all? Thanks

You can do that quite easily by writing your code inside a try/catch block like below:

try
{
DateTime tmp = DateTime.Parse(this.textBox1.Text);
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
MessageBox.Show("This is not a valid date\n\nError Message: " + exc.Message);
return;
}
MessageBox.Show("Date is valid");
