This way u can change the data formate and convert to string into data

string UrDate = txtPurchase_Dt.Text;
            System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dateInfo = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
            dateInfo.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";
            DateTime validDate = Convert.ToDateTime(UrDate, dateInfo);

This way you can compate the dates in your application.

DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(2007, 11, 15);
DateTime dt2 = new DateTime(2008, 11, 15);

if (DateTime.Compare(dt1, dt2) < 0)
{
   }
else if (DateTime.Compare(dt1, dt2)> 0)
{
   }
Please try this solution. I think it will work.

1st way
        string strdate = "11/30/2003" ;
        DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(strdate);
or u can also use
        DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(strdate);

2nd way
(this works for the given 3 strings dates)

   // string strDate="2002-10-03";
       // string strDate="10/04/2002";
       string strDate="10/05";

        DateTime dt = (DateTime)(System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(new DateTime(1990,5,6)).ConvertFrom(strDate));

Hope this will help u out :)

Dnt forget to mark as an answer , if it is :)
