Convert string to Salesforce API date type

Hello,

 

I'm having some problems with creation of a lead using the Salesforce webservice API using .NET.

 

I can create the lead fine, but some of the fields are not getting updated. I think it is because my types are not matching although the API doesn't give me any errors.

 

One of my problems is with a text field in a web form that takes a string in the form of mm/dd/yyyy.

 

When I try to update a custom date field in salesforce (birthdate) it just comes up blank. I have tried to convert the string to type date, but it doesn't seem to work either.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't have the specified property set to "True".
