    <p>I'm a but frustrated. I'm playing around with xml-files. So this is my automatically created xml-File:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Files&gt; &lt;Lists&gt; &lt;oList&gt; &lt;Object&gt; &lt;Name&gt;test1&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;DateCreated&gt;2/11/2013 4:35:05 PM&lt;/DateCreated&gt; &lt;DateDeadline&gt;2/17/2013 12:00:00 AM&lt;/DateDeadline&gt; &lt;Reward&gt;none&lt;/Reward&gt; &lt;Description&gt;chocolate amedei 9&lt;/Description&gt; &lt;/Object&gt; &lt;/oList&gt; &lt;/Lists&gt; &lt;/Files&gt; </code></pre> <p>The many start elements in the beginning have to be there because I want to extend the file later. So now I want to read this xml-file and create an object of a class (ThingsToDoObjects, it's supposed to become a to-do-list some day) that needs exactly the parameters stored in the xml-file. This Object should be stored in a list. So this is what I have so far:</p> <pre><code>XmlDocument xmlListDoc = new XmlDocument(); xmlListDoc.Load(xmlFilePath); foreach (XmlNode xnode in xmlListDoc.SelectNodes("Files/Lists/oList/Object")) { string n = xnode.SelectSingleNode("Name").InnerText.ToString(); DateTime c = Convert.ToDateTime(xnode.SelectSingleNode("DateCreated").InnerText.ToString()); DateTime d = Convert.ToDateTime(xnode.SelectSingleNode("DateDeadline").InnerText.ToString()); string r = xnode.SelectSingleNode("Reward").InnerText.ToString(); string de = xnode.SelectSingleNode("Description").InnerText.ToString(); ThingsToDoObjects NeuObject = new ThingsToDoObjects(n, c, d, r, de); o.Add(NeuObject); } </code></pre> <p>Now when I debug the following happens: n is created fine, c is created fine. But d just doesn't work.It gives an error: </p> <blockquote> <p>"The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime"</p> </blockquote> <p>(That's my translation from German, so maybe the error might be called a bit different. What's going on there? I hope I just made some stupid mistake.</p> <p>By the way: I tried the <code>ParseExactly()</code> method but it dind't work either and gave the same error.</p> <p>Thanks in advance to everone who answers.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
