conversion

I have this code:

Dim birthdaystring As String = MonthBirth.SelectedValue.ToString & "/" & DayBirth.SelectedValue.ToString & "/" & YearBirth.SelectedValue.ToString
Dim birthday As DateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(birthdaystring)

Which produces errors (String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.)

The string was "01/31/1963".

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.
