Problem With DateTime

[maverick786us]

I am facing a small problem while picking date from a textbox and converting it into DateTime.

The problem lies over here

objCertificate.InstallDate = Convert.ToDateTime(txtInstallDate.Text, DtInfo).Date;


Since I am using JavaScript calander control to pick up date. So I have made these textBoxese as read only. If I make readonly false. It does'nt create any problem. But because I enabled read only so that no user can add date wrong date the format therefore I made it read only, but it throws this error.


String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

You can alter the read-only boolean whenever you need to make a change.

I might use it as my 2ndary inititative. But what could be the reason for this problem??

It seems to me that read-only is acting as disabled for you. But so long as it is not read-only it works for you?

yes it works, and yes with read-only it acts as disabled but. When i tried to display its value using Response.Write it gets displayed.

So then can you post all of the relevant code?

Here it is


System.Globalization.CultureInfo DtInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-AU");
DtInfo.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "MM/dd/yyyy";



try
{
objCertificate.InstallDate = Convert.ToDateTime(txtInstallDate.Text, DtInfo).Date;
objCertificate.NotifyDate = Convert.ToDateTime(txtNotifyDate.Text, DtInfo).Date;
objCertificate.ExpireDate = Convert.ToDateTime(txtExpireDate.Text, DtInfo).Date;
}
catch
{
objCertificate.InstallDate = DateTime.Now.Date;
objCertificate.NotifyDate = DateTime.Now.Date;
objCertificate.ExpireDate =DateTime.Now.Date;
}

objCertificate is an Object of ClsCertificate Class and

private DateTime _installDate;
public DateTime InstallDate
{
get { return _installDate; }
set { _installDate = value; }
}

private DateTime _expireDate;
public DateTime ExpireDate
{
get { return _expireDate; }
set { _expireDate = value; }
}

private DateTime _notifyDate;
public DateTime NotifyDate
{
get { return _notifyDate; }
set { _notifyDate = value; }
}


Here is the code to set the properties in the class and


public short UpdateCertificates()
{
SqlParameter[] objParam = new SqlParameter[14];

objParam[0] = new SqlParameter("@Certificate_ID", SqlDbType.BigInt);
objParam[1] = new SqlParameter("@Issue_Authority", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100);
objParam[2] = new SqlParameter("@Cert_Type", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100);
objParam[3] = new SqlParameter("@Req_Authority", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100);
objParam[4] = new SqlParameter("@Install_Date", SqlDbType.DateTime);
objParam[5] = new SqlParameter("@Expire_Date", SqlDbType.DateTime);
objParam[6] = new SqlParameter("@Notify_Date", SqlDbType.DateTime);
objParam[7] = new SqlParameter("@Department", SqlDbType.SmallInt);
objParam[8] = new SqlParameter("@user_name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
objParam[9] = new SqlParameter("@Computer_ID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
objParam[10] = new SqlParameter("@Certificate_Code", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
objParam[11] = new SqlParameter("@Password", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
objParam[12] = new SqlParameter("@Notes", SqlDbType.VarChar, 500);
objParam[13] = new SqlParameter("@Updation", SqlDbType.Bit);

objParam[0].Value = _certificateid;
objParam[1].Value = _issueauthority;
objParam[2].Value = _certificatetype;
objParam[3].Value = _requestingauthority;
objParam[4].Value = _installDate;
objParam[5].Value = _expireDate;
objParam[6].Value = _notifyDate;
objParam[7].Value = _department;
objParam[8].Value = _userid;
objParam[9].Value = _pcid;
objParam[10].Value = _certificateid;
objParam[11].Value = _password;
objParam[12].Value = _notes;
objParam[13].Value = _updation;

object Resultset = objManager.ExecuteScalarQuery("dbWBS_usp_UpdateCertificateDetails", objParam);
return Convert.ToInt16(Resultset);
}


This is where the procedure is actually called

Unfortunately, that doesn't really show much. I did some searching and came up with the following links. See if some of those help you out.

Also, can you verify that the actual value is being set when it is read-only? Or is it not even altering?
