CDate function:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/vsfctcdate.asp

Check the parameters that CDate is expecting. You may need to do some text
parsing and string manipulation before calling CDate.

You will use the .ParseExact method of DateTime.

Dim dt as DateTime
dt = DateTime.Parse( "10/04", "MM/yy" )

DateTime dtC = DateTime.Parse( "10/04", "MM/yy" );
