leave if statement

Question

I have an if statement inside an if statement.

If the condition in the second if statement returns false, I want to go to the first else because there it sets my validation controls automatically.

I hope you understand

if (page.isvalid() )
{
    if (datetime.tryparse (date) == true)
    {
        // ok    
    } 
    else
    {
       //go to the other else
    }
}
else
{
    // want to go here
}

Edit:

Important is that I have to first validate the page because after the validation, I know I can parse the datetimes from the 2 input controls and check if the second one is greater than the first one. Otherwise it throws an exception, maybe, if the date is not valid.

Answer 1

instead of DateTime.Parse(date) use

DateTime dt;
bool isParsed = DateTime.TryParse(date, out dt);

//if ( page.isvalid() && (datetime.parse (date) == true) )   
if ( page.isvalid() && isParsed )   
{        
     // ok        
}     
else    
{       
    // want to go here
}
