conversion from string to type 'date' is not valid With right date string

Question

I'm facing a strange error

I'm using the following line to parse string to date

DepartureDate = CDate("20" & year & "/" & month & "/" & day & " " & hour & ":" & minute)

And it work fine.

But sometimes I got the following error from my site page

Conversion from string "2013/04/14 18:15" to type 'Date' is not valid.

The string is right date,so why got this error.

The error stop when I restart the IIS

What happened to the IIS so it throw-ed this error???

and what shall I do to handle this type of error.

The error is probably because the culture settings change.

Instead of putting the components together in a string and then parse it, create a value directly from the components:

DepartureDate = New DateTime(2000 + year, month, day, hour, minute, 0)
