Hi,
I've been writing a program in .net for a couple years and everything
was working fine until my hard drive had to be replaced and so I installed
visual studio on the new drive and loaded up my application. Now I get the
following error whenever I try to convert a string into a date:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in
microsoft.visualbasic.dll

Additional information: Cast from string "12/31/2022" to type 'Date' is not
valid.


This never happened before and I don't have any idea what is causing it.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Patrick,
this is C# code, but you can translate it to VB:
//define startDate as DateTime, also txtStartDate.Text is a string from a
web page.
startDate = Convert.ToDateTime(txtStartDate.Text);
//hope this helps, Al
