Hi Guys,

I want to convert javascript date to c#.

In my asp.net web application, i'm storing the values in Hiddenfields.

This hdn.value then, i'm trying to convert to DateTime in C#.

But getting the error as "String was not is proper format"

eg: date from javascript: "2016-09-05"

What I have tried:

string[] scheduleDates = hdnScheduleDates.Value.Split(',');
string dt = scheduleDates[0].Replace("-", "/");
DateTime StartDate = DateTime.ParseExact(dt, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

can any please help me?

Thanks

Your date and the format you are trying to parse it as do not match:

eg: date from javascript: "2016-09-05"

DateTime.ParseExact(dt, "dd/MM/yyyy",...

Try changing the format to "yyyy-MM-dd", and it should work.
But I'd strongly suggest using TryParseExact instead - it returns a boll success/fail code instead of throwing an exception when the format doesn't match.

Solution 2

No need to replace the '-' with '/'

C#

DateTime StartDate = DateTime.ParseExact(scheduleDates[0], "yyyy-MM-dd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Use .ToShortString ()

public List<datetime> Scheduler
{
get { return ScheduleDates.Split(',').Select(item => DateTime.ParseExact(item, "yyyy-MM-dd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToShortDateString()).ToList(); //Error Cannot implicitly convert list<string> to list<datetiem>
}

set
{
ScheduleDates = ScheduleDates.Remove(ScheduleDates.Length - 1);
}
}

Create it as string and store it as short string
