Converting a String to Date

I have a String in which i am storing the date which I have retrieved from database. How can I convert this String to a Date object and use Comparator for sorting.

String strCreatedDate1 = ((CVendorEmployees) vendoremployee1).getCreatedDate().toUpperCase();

The date format which I will retrieve from String is mm/dd/yyyy.

I want to convert this into date and use it for sorting.

Thanx.

# 1
Date dtTmp = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").parse(((CVendorEmployees) vendoremployee1).getCreatedDate());Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.setTime(dtTmp);Now you have the date object do what ever you wish to

Better make thatnew SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy")

And no need for the Calendar stuff if all you want is a Date object.
