DateTime function

[TaeHo Yoo]

First of all thanks all guys for your time to look at my problem.

The problem I am having is datetime function.
Basically, I would like to have a datetime function that works machine
independently.
So regardless of the format of datetime string(ie,
d/MM/yyyy,dd/MM/yyyy,yyyy/MM/dd), this function takes this string and
convert it to the correct datetime that my server could recognise as
datetime(which is d/MM/yyyy).

Thanks again,

TaeHo,
Use the DateTime.Parse method. It contains several overload methods which allow you
to specify the CultureInfo, so it knows how to parse different culture formats.

For more information, see the sample code VB.NET code at the bottom of the following page
