Is your problem the conversion from tBox. Text to Date, or is it at the sql update query level? -- You should probably give the sql statement a parameter with a strict type.
Converting from tBox. Text into test should probably be done in a Culture aware manner.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
