Answer 1

You have to do AddNewRow(....,new DateTime(..))

or AddNewRow(....,DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, provider))

There is no implicit conversion from string

Answer 2

You will have to convert the string to type DateTime. You can convert it in this way:

AddNewRow(....,new DateTime.ParseExact("2009-05-08", "yyyy-MM-dd",
                                       System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
