how to store the date result into database which is get from TimeZone in mvc2

Question

I converted the date time using TimeZoneInfo in mvc2.

In my controller:

DateTime updatedDate = DateTime.Now;
var timeZone = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(updatedDate, TimeZoneInfo.Local.Id, "India Standard Time").ToString();

I want to assign the value timeZone into

item.updateddate=timeZone;

But it is showing an error. How to assing the values? I am new to this....

What is the error? This sounds like the type of Item.UpdateDate isn't the same as the timeZone variable. — Damon, Sep 14 '13 at 09:07
it shows line error.."Cannot Implicitly convert type string to system.datetime. this is the error. — PoliDev, Sep 14 '13 at 09:09
Please edit your original question instead of repeatedly opening a nee question for the same item. — Matt Johnson-Pint, Sep 14 '13 at 15:22

As I assumed your error is because you are trying to convert a string to a date time. What you need to do is use something like DateTime.ParseExact.

Thanks for your answer.. I find the issue because of you. var timeZone = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(updatedDate, TimeZoneInfo.Local.Id, "India Standard Time"); – PoliDev Sep 14 '13 at 09:16
Ahh, you were converting the return value to a string. That would have caused your problem! – Damon Sep 14 '13 at 09:19
