String was not recognized as a valid DateTime “ format dd/MM/yyyy”

Question

I am trying to convert my string formatted value to date type with format dd/MM/yyyy.

this.Text=\"22/11/2009\";

DateTime date = DateTime.Parse(         


        

Answer 1

You might need to specify the culture for that specific date format as in:

    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB"); //dd/MM/yyyy

    this.Text="22/11/2009";

    DateTime date = DateTime.Parse(this.Text);
