DateTime::ParseExact

Mike Certini

Can someone help me with the getting my ParseExact working? Though following guidance from MSDN site I am still incorrect with my syntax. The error I am receiving is the following:
Error C2665: 'System::DateTime::ParseExact' : none of the 3 overloads could convert all the argument types.
C2665- Error Description: 'function' : none of the number1 overloads can convert parameter number2 from type 'type'

#include #include #include #include #using using namespace std;
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
using namespace System::Collections;

void main()
{
//System::Collections::IEnumerator^ en = CultureInfo::GetCultures(CultureTypes::SpecificCultures)->GetEnumerator();
//System::Globalization::CultureInfo^ MyCI = gcnew CultureInfo("en-US",false);
//System::Globalization::DateTimeFormatInfo^ myDTFI = MyCI->DateTimeFormat;

std::string dateString = "MAY\_03\_2010";
std::string format = "MMM\_dd\_yyyy";
//	DateTime dt = DateTime::Now;	
DateTime dateTime = DateTime::ParseExact(dateString,format,nullptr);
//System::DateTime dateTimevalue = System::DateTime::ParseExact(dateString,"MMMddyyyy",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); 

system("pause");

}

Code o mat

Could it be that there is a function (or type or whatever) called "format" somewhere declared in one of those namespaces and the compiler thinks you are trying to pass that to ParseExact? Try renaming your format variable to something else, like date_format or somesuch and see if it changes anything.

You do not mention which version of the compiler you are using; are you sure that it recognises nullptr as a NULL value?
