Pretend that we are not sitting next to you and have been working on the project the entire time. Now, explain what you want to accomplish, what you have tried and what problems you are encountering.

Why do you need to convert a DateTime type to a DateTime type to begin with?

Many of the .NET types support the TypeConverter:

TypeConverter converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(targetType);
return converter.ConvertFrom(value);

You can read about it in my article Generic WPF/Silverlight Value Converter[^]
