如何在C＃中将字符串转换为DbType.Date？

Question

I want to assign the text box input to the oracle db parameter of type date. So how do I convert from string to DbType.Date without using the to_date() function in the DB? I'm using the System.Data.OracleClient namespace. Here is my code

cmd.Parameters.Add("IN_SERIALNO", DbType.Date).Value = ?; 

Answer 1

You can try this

DateTime dateValue = DateTime.Parse(date.Text); 
OracleParameter DateParameter = new OracleParameter();
DateParameter.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Date;
DateParameter.Value = dateValue;

Answer 2

Maybe you could use

cmd.Parameters.Add("IN_SERIALNO", OracleType.DateTime)

UPDATE I have tested this

cmd.Parameters.Add("IN_SERIALNO", OracleType.DateTime).value = textBox1.Text;

I would like to note that I needed to use like, >=, or include the time to make this work.
