Hi all,

I am using the following bit of code to convert a date from an external source.

    var
            timestamp: TDateTime;
            event_date, event_time: string;
    begin
            ShortDateFormat := 'm/d/y';
            try
                timestamp := StrToDateTime(event_date + ' ' + event_time);
            except
                // error handling ...
            end;
    end;

However, the compiler warns that ShortDateFormat is deprecated. Is there another way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Dave Copeland.

Sorry, I think I just answered my own question :-! . Woult using the TFormatsetting variant of StrToDateTime be the "better way"?
