C# and VB difference

Hi all, using vb.net the following works:

Code:

Dim datecreated As Date

datecreated = elemList(i).Attributes("ows_Created").Value

but when using C#:

Code:


 DateTime datecreated;

datecreated = elemList[i].Attributes["ows_Created"].Value;

I get an error

Quote:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.DateTime'

can anybody help? thanks
