However on attempting to insert this to the database field which is a datetime an error is being thrown despite converting the textbox entry to datetime...
myCompanyAccount.Founded = Convert.ToDateTime(this.TxtCompanyFounded.Text);
Converting a year string to a Datetime value
I am creating a simple input form to create an account. On the form there is an input field for the year the company was founded, this is a simple textbox where the user will type in the year
MyCompany.Founded = new DateTime(Convert.ToInt32(this.TxtCompanyFounded.Text), 1, 1);
