DateTime.FromOADate(Double) Method is used to return a DateTime equivalent to the specified OLE Automation Date.

Syntax: public static DateTime FromOADate (double d);
Here, it takes an OLE Automation Date value.

Return Value: This method returns an object that represents the same date and time as d.

Exception: This method will give ArgumentException if the date is not a valid OLE Automation Date value.

Below programs illustrate the use of DateTime.FromOADate(Double) Method:

Example 1:




// C# program to demonstrate the
// DateTime.FromOADate(Int64) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {
  
            // converting 657435.0 OLE 
            // Automation Date value.
            // into DateTime format
            // using FromOADate() method
            DateTime date2 = DateTime.FromOADate(657435.0);
  
            // Display the date2
            System.Console.WriteLine("DateTime "
                       + ": {0:y} {0:dd}",date2);
                                       
        }
  
        catch (ArgumentException e) {
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
}


Output:

Example 2: For ArgumentException




// C# program to demonstrate the
// DateTime.FromOADate(Int64) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {
  
            // converting 657435.0 OLE
            // Automation Date value.
            // into DateTime format
            // using FromOADate() method
            DateTime date2 = DateTime.FromOADate(-657435.0);
  
            // Display the date2
            System.Console.WriteLine("DateTime "
                      + ": {0:y} {0:dd}",date2);
                                       
        }
  
        catch (ArgumentException e) 
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The date is not a valid "+
                           "OLE Automation Date value.");
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
