How to change the type of the data?

My codeline is:
Excel excel=new Excel();
Excel excel1=new Excel();
excel.Open(“E:\xue.xls”);
DataTable myTable=new DataTable(“Release”);
myTable.Columns.Add(“lotID”,typeof(int));
myTable.Columns.Add(“pdvID”,typeof(int));
myTable.Columns.Add(“lotPrio”,typeof(int));
myTable.Columns.Add(“dateTime”,typeof(DateTime));
myTable=excel.Worksheets[“release”].Cells.ExportDataTable(0,0,length,4);
DataTable newTable=new DataTable();
newTable=myTable.Clone();

newTable.ImportRow(myTable.Rows[deleteRow]);

excel1.Worksheets[0].Cells.ImportDataTable(newTable,false,0,0);
excel1.Save(“E:\ReleaseInformation.xls”);

the fourth column’s type is DateTime in xue.xls,but inReleaseInformation.xls it’s the type of string ,how did that happen,how to solve this problem? Thank you!

Could you please send me your xue.xls and releaseinformation.xls? And have you tried the latest hotfix v2.8.5 at
