How to convert Object type to DataTime?

Hi Atheeq;

Here is a snippet on how it can be done.

// Set this to you culture. In this example it is set to Kannada (India)
// You can get the culture for your location from the CultureInfo class at
// http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.cultureinfo.aspx
CultureInfo culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("kn-IN");
DateTimeStyles styles = DateTimeStyles.None;
// Holds the converted value
String SelectedDate;
internal object Value
{
    set
    {
            // Create a variable to hold the converted string value of the incomming data
        DateTime dt;
        // Convert the string in the object to a DateTime object if string can not be
        // converted the value placed in dt will be DateTime.MinValue otherwise it will
        // create a DateTime object with the valie being passed in.
        DateTime.TryParse(value.ToString(), culture, styles, out dt);
        // Set the value of SelectedDate
        this.SelectedDate = (dt == DateTime.MinValue) ? null : dt.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
    }
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Value = "19/12/2008 00:00:00";
    if( SelectedDate != null )
        MessageBox.Show(SelectedDate.ToString());
}

Regards;
