I have a TextBox where the user enters a date.

The user types in the UK format dd/mm/yyyy and its getting read from the
TextBox in US format mm/dd/yyyy. This is on a PC with English date time
format.

Is there a way of converting this?

Cheers
Rich.

Hi Rich,
See if you can define a custom datetime format string :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconcustomdatetimeformatstrings.asp

Additional reference :
DateTime best practices :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/datetimecode.asp

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Anushi

Ok so the problem isn't the text box, it seems to be something happening
after I attempt to update an SQL table.

DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(tbxDateCompleted.Text);
info(dt.ToString()); // this just outputs the date to a label window

string sqlString = "UPDATE Goods_Returned " +
"SET Complaint_Justified = '" +
ddlJustified.SelectedItem.Value.ToString() + "'," +
"Date_completed = '" + dt.ToString() + "'," +
"ProductID = '" + tbxProductId.Text + "'," +
"Comments = '" + tbxComments.Text + "'," +
"Corrective_Action = '" + tbxCorrectiveAction.Text + "'," +
"Preventive_Action = '" + tbxPreventiveAction.Text + "'," +
"Reason_for_return = '" + tbxReasonForReturn.Text + "' " +
"WHERE Complaint_number = '" + tbxComplaintNo.Text + "'";

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlString, sqlConnection1);
sqlConnection1.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlConnection1.Close();

It seems that the date is getting reversed *after* the sqlString is created,
which leads me to suspect the SqlCommand class is the culprit.
