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

Based on this reference, the next approach worked for me:

// e.g. format = "dd/MM/yyyy", dateString = "10/07/2017" 
var formatInfo = new DateTimeFormatInfo()
{
     ShortDatePattern = format
};
date = Convert.ToDateTime(dateString, formatInfo);
