Hello,

How can I parse (or at least try) the following:

- A String representation of a DateTime to a DateTime
- A String representation of a Boolean to a boolean

Thanks,
Miguel

DateTime.TryParse (many overloads)
DateTime.Parse(many overloads)
bool whatever = (expression)

And also Convert.ToXXX

Of course, it also depends on the exact string representation of date
and boolean. E.g. I'm sure that Boolean.Parse() can handle "true" or
"false" case-insensitively, but I'm not so sure about e.g. "yes/no",
if that is needed.

I'm quite sure, for boolean, a switch construct might be a far better
solution ...

I'm pretty sure Boolean cannot handle yes/no or 1/0. So sure that I wrote a
utility class method to do just that....

This was exactly what I needed. I am using:
Boolean published;
article.Published = Boolean.TryParse(request.Form.Get
("Published"), out published),

Thank You,
