Hi i also had the same problem my applications will be running in localhost but when i use IIS or apache it will throw the error String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.After a lot of search i finally got the solution

just declare ur date field as

System.DateTime str_date=DateTime.Parse(sel3.Text,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-AU").DateTimeFormat);

I hope it will work fine in ur application

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

After doing some looking around in the code I changed one line in Dottext.Framework.Util.WebPathStripper

I replaced the private static readonly string[] dateFormats with:

{"yyyy\\/MM\\/d","yyyy\\/MM\\/dd","yyyy\\/M\\/dd","yyyy\\/M\\/d","yyyy\\/MM","yyyy\\/M"};

This solved my problem. I only wonder why noone else has it?!?

Grt,

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

Web.config reads:
<HttpHandler pattern = "^(?:/archive/\d{4}/\d{1,2}\.aspx)$" controls = "ArchiveMonth.ascx" />

Stack Trace:

[FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.]
System.DateTime.ParseExact(String s, String[] formats, IFormatProvider provider, DateTimeStyles style) +106
Dottext.Framework.Util.WebPathStripper.GetDateFromRequest(String uri, String archiveText) +164
Dottext.Web.UI.Controls.ArchiveMonth.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +61
System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +35
....
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +731

I've checked globalisation settings, it all seems in order.

Grt,

In your web.config, search for a line containing ArchiveMonth in the HttpHandlers section.

What is that line?

Should be

<HttpHandler pattern = "/archive/\d{4}/\d{1,2}\.aspx$" controls = "ArchiveMonth.ascx" />

Typically this is related to a globalization issue. I would also just double check that (but it also looks less likely that that's the issue since your daily archive pages pass dateformat muster).

Can you turn off custom exceptions and post the full exception with code lines/stack?

Hi,

I'm running an unmodified dotText latest version on a Windows2003 server. Whenever I click on a 'monthly archive' link I receive the error 'String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.' An example URL is http://blog.swiftalpha.com/archive/2004/07.aspx

The server is configured to use the English regional settings. The web.config reads '<globalization culture="en-US" />' as expected. I've looked around for a solution but didn't find one.

Anyone?
