title: How to skip over bad records
body: <p>I am using <a href="http://nuget.org/packages/FileHelpers-Stable" rel="nofollow"> File Helpers 2.9.9 </a> and I am wondering how do I get it skip over bad records instead of it just crashing?</p>
  
  <pre><code>object[] transactions = engine.ReadStream(textReader); // will crash if one record fails.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am also having trouble with the DateTime.I can't see why it can't convert "12/22/2011" using the formats I have set.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error Converting '"12/22/2011"' to type: 'DateTime'.  does not match any of the given formats: 'MM/dd/yyyy', 'MM/d/yyyy', 'M/d/yyyy'
