“对象”不包含“ ToDateTime”的定义

Question

I am writing a script which takes data from fields. And I want to convert them to DateTime . here is the code:

Document.Field("Document Section 1\\Verification Date").Value.ParseExact();

and

Document.Field("Document Section 1\\Verification Date").Value.ParseExact();

I have tried ParseExact , ToDateTime , TryParse , and every time the error is the same.

'object' does not contain a definition for 'ParseExact'

I am not a C# rockstar, so I will be grateful if you show me right way, not only theritacally, but with code.

Answer 1

I don't know what the Value is but

Document.Field("Document Section 1\\Verification Date").Value

will return a object .

What you need is a String. This string can then be parsed to DateTime
So a solution would be

DateTime.Parse(((String)Document.Field("Document Section 1\\Verification Date").Value)

Sidenote: Doesn't DateTime.Parse accept object too?
