System.TypeException: Invalid date: 1/1/2014 error issue

System.TypeException: Invalid date: 1/1/2014 error issue

whenever we are assaigning a string which contains date to date field ,we get this error because of different date format.So to resolve this issue we need to change date format.

For example I got this error  "System.TypeException: Invalid date: 1/1/2014"

I resolved this issue in the following way..
string   DateScheduled='1/1/2014';
String[] myDateOnly = DateScheduled.split(' ');
            String[] strDate = myDateOnly[0].split('/');
            Integer myIntDate = integer.valueOf(strDate[1]);
            Integer myIntMonth = integer.valueOf(strDate[0]);
            Integer myIntYear = integer.valueOf(strDate[2]);
            account.DateScheduled__c=Date.newInstance(myIntYear, myIntMonth, myIntDate);

Here DateScheduled__c is a custom date field in account object.
Hope this helps you...
