how to code a condition: 'can this string be converted into a date type'? (ruby) -

-

Can I code this condition in some way in Ruby? I need to know the if any string can be converted to a date , the only way to do this is date.parse ("my string") and the exception is there any other way? 

  date_scraped_from_the_net = "20 December 2009" or "Today" if date_scraped_from_the_net is not of date type need_to_be_updated = true end

If you need a sophisticated date parsing, I will try.

However, if I understand your specific question, you would like to use Rescue to conditionally use methods to increase errors: 

  if (date.parse (date_scraped_from_the_net) salvage zero) need_to_be_updated = true end

c# - TypeConverter in propertygrid only converts from string, not to -

-
When the property grid is reached, only the conversion mechanism (often called) is called "Foo!" Returns the property string in the grid when I click to edit I get an exception Type.oo. Object type can not be changed to type. (Not properly translated,) What is a clue from the convert format, why not? And the error indicates that it is trying to convert to a string, not from. I think that when I want to edit this object, it will have to be converted from foo to string, and when the editing ends.
