You could use this function:

Private Function GetDate(ByVal source As String) As DateTime
    Dim converted = DateTime.Parse(source)
    If (converted.Year.Equals(DateTime.Now.Year) And converted.Month.Equals(DateTime.Now.Month)) Then
        GetDate = DateTime.Now
    Else
        GetDate = converted
    End If
End Function

it could analysed passed month + year values like "April 2010".
