the code is

String.Format("{0:MMMM d, yyyy}",Date.Parse(_landcorReport.vrValuationDate))

please help me

please guys can any one help me?
Hi,
Make sure you are getting valid date in _landcorReport.vrValuationDate. Try using TryParse with an out variable of DateTime type, and then try to format it.

DateTime dt;
bool result = DateTime.TryParse(_landcorReport.vrValuationDate.ToString(), out dt);

Thanks,

unless you are doing Visual J#, you should be usingDateTime.Parse instead

String.Format ( "{0:MMMM d, yyyy}",DateTime.Parse ( _landcorReport.vrValuationDate ) )

that should work assuming of course that _landcorReport.vrValuationDate returns a string that is convertible to a valid date

If the input string cannot be converted to DateTime, an exception will be thrown. If you are not sure whether the input string can be converted to datetime, use the TryParse, as this method tries to parse only if the input string is valid and gives you the result if succeeded into the out variable. If you are not using TryParse, you need to use a try {} catch {} block to handle the exception.

Thanks

This method is available in .Net 2.0 while I'm working in .Net 1.1
Hi
Check if the value of_landcorReport.vrValuationDate is a valid date, or use your statement in try catch block
