I get this error when running my application:

Error 2 开发者_开发问答Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'System.DateTime'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

The code:

public object BirthDate
{
    get { return date_ofbirth; }
    set { date_ofbirth = value; }
}

---

Looks like the variable date_ofbirth is defined as DateTime and the property wrapper BirthDate is marked as return/accept object.

Change:

public object BirthDate 
{ 
    get { return date_ofbirth; } 
    set { date_ofbirth = value; } 
}

to

public DateTime BirthDate 
{ 
    get { return date_ofbirth; } 
    set { date_ofbirth = value; } 
}

It's not clear from the code you've given what your doing with BirthDate but from the exception given it looks like you need it to be a DateTime object. E.g...

public DateTime BirthDate { get {} set {} }

If this isn't what you want let us know what you are trying to do.

---

you are either going to have to change the property BirthDate to be a System.DateTime or cast:

 DateTime myDate  = (DateTime)BirthDate;
