1.Converting String to DateTime Datatype

Implementation using UiPath : Let us implement a workflow that takes a string and converts it to DateTime Datatype. Step 1: Drag “Assign” activities into the designer panel and assign the string value and the format of DateTime. Use the “Write Line” activity to display the result. Example: If your input is like 19/09/2019 your format should be dd/MM/yyyy… If your input is like 2019/09/19 then your format should be yyyy/MM/dd…

output_date=DateTime.ParseExact(input_date,formatconversion,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat)
