Question

Hi,

I want to split date into parts. i.e. 1/1/2012 ==> month = 1; day = 1; and year = 2012 or 12. C# gives day name not nuber. we can get month pottion and year portion creationDate.Month; and creationDate.year; respectively.

Any one have idea???

If you already have the date in a DateTime you can miss out the ParseExact;

            string d = "1/1/2012";
            DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(d, "M/d/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);

            int day = dt.Day;
            int month = dt.Month;
            int year = dt.Year;

Thanks All, I have got it by simple code;

DateTime creationDate = DateTime.Now;
            int day = creationDate.Day;
            int month = creationDate.Month;
            int year = creationDate.Year;

That would be because the string you have provided is not in a valid DateTime format accorsing to the conversion you are trying to apply.  Fix you string or fix your conversion.  Since you haven't shown any details we can't do anything better than to advise you to 'fix it'.

@ Atiqiub

By date, do you mean the .NET DateTime Structure?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx

The .NET DateTime Structure provides all the methods and properties that you require for most common uses:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.day.aspx
   day of the month ... 1..31

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.dayofweek
   day of the week ...  enumerated constant that indicates the day of the week

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.dayofyear
   day of the year ... expressed as a value between 1 and 366

For day of the month, use the .Day property
