Folks,

I have a cell (F8) containing 7/14/2005, which translates to 38547 in the C#
code-behind.

I can translate 38547 to 7/14/2005 with the following:

day_to_process =
(Convert.ToDateTime("12/30/1899")).AddDays(Convert.ToDouble(((Excel.Range)rng Lookup.Cells[8,6]).Value2.ToString()));

Anybody have a better way?

Hi Bob,

I haven't got VS.NET available to test this at the moment, but how about
something like this:

DateTime day_to_process =
DateTime.Parse((Excel.Range)rngLookup.Cells[8,6]).Text);

Thanks, Rob

DateTime.Parse(((Excel.Range)rngLookup.Cells[8,6]).Text.ToString());

works.
