I’m working with VB.NET and need to handle cases where a date string could represent a full date and time or just a time. Here’s my current code snippet:
Dim InvoiceDate As String = Nothing
If IsDate(strInvoiceDate) Then
InvoiceDate = CDate(strInvoiceDate)
End If
In this code, strInvoiceDate could be a string representing either a full date and time or just a time. If strInvoiceDate represents only a time and does not include a date, I want to set InvoiceDate to an empty string (“”).
Here is the implementation of the IsDate function I’m using:
Public Shared Function IsDate(Expression As Object) As Boolean
If Expression Is Nothing Then
Return False
End If
If TypeOf Expression Is DateTime Then
Return True
End If
If TypeOf Expression Is String Then
Dim Result As DateTime = Nothing
Return Conversions.TryParseDate(CType(Expression, String), Result)
End If
Return False
End Function
How can I modify the code to handle cases where strInvoiceDate is only a time and set InvoiceDate to “” in such cases?
Thank you!
