Trouble updating Date field in C#

I am unable to update a Date field in Salesforce via C#.

 

I read the post here: http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=NET_development&thread.id=4069. I attempted to install the patch (NDP20-KB925272-X86.exe) but received a message saying that the program to be updated does not exist on my computer. I have C# Express, not the full version. Perhaps that is the problem?

 

I have also tried editing the WSDL by remarking out the xsd:date and changing all fields which are date to DateTime in the WSDL.  

 

Perhaps I am not coding it properly. This is what I have tried so far:

 

   string LDA_Date = parsedCSVData[(i * NUM_COLUMNS) + 8];                DateTime dt = System.DateTime.Parse(LDA_Date);                String dt2 = dt.ToUniversalTime().ToString("M-d-yyyy");                Log.Text += dt2.ToString() + "\n";                DateTime dt3 = Convert.ToDateTime(dt2);                LDARecs[i].LDA__c = dt3; 
 
I have also tried formatting it using "yyyy-MM-dd"  and "MM-dd-yyyy"
 
I have been able to update string fields. LDA__c is a Date (not DateTime) field in Salesforce.
 
 Thanks for any help that could be provided,
Chris

you're probably missing a LDARecs[i].LDA__cSpecified = true; see the sticky at the top of the forum.

By the way, I have tried this on a Win XP machine and a Windows 7 machine.
