   AddNewRowToTable(....,DateTime ExpDate)

when I call that method like this below:

   AddNewRowToTable(....,"2008/04/14")

It said it can't convert string to DateTime.

try New DateTime(year, month, day) instead of 2008/04/14 — Doan Cuong

AddNewRow and AddNewRowToTable are not the same. Correct the question please. Also you can not pass a different type unless some kind of function overloading is implemented by you for your function. — Jay Patel

You have to do AddNewRow(....,new DateTime(..))

or AddNewRow(....,DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, provider))

There is no implicit conversion from string

You will have to convert the string to type DateTime. You can convert it in this way:

AddNewRow(....,new DateTime.ParseExact("2009-05-08", "yyyy-MM-dd",
                                       System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))

You need to pass correct type for the input parameter. Look into function overloading if you want to pass a String and then convert it into DateTime inside the function.

To add a little to the previous answers new DateTime() it appears to expect a long.

So it has to be divided by "," as such:

AddNewRowToTable(....,new DateTime(2008,04,14))
