DateTime.TryParse issue with dates of yyyy-dd-MM format

Question

I have the following date in string format \"2011-29-01 12:00 am\" . Now I am trying to convert that to datetime format with the following code:

DateTime.Try         


        

Answer 1

Try using safe TryParseExact method

DateTime temp;
string   date = "2011-29-01 12:00 am";

DateTime.TryParseExact(date, "yyyy-dd-MM hh:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out temp);
