Convert string to datetime in vb.net

Question

I have a datetime that looks like this:

201210120956
ccyyMMDDhhmm

When I try this:

Dim convertedDate As Date = Date.Parse(D         


        

Answer 1

You can try with ParseExact method

Sample

Dim format As String  
format = "d" 
Dim provider As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture
result = Date.ParseExact(DateString, format, provider)
