The best solution is to actually try to parse it to a date with DateTime.TryParse().

String d = "11-04-2015 22:01:13:053";

DateTime dt = new DateTime();

if (DateTime.TryParse(d, out dt)) { 
    /// yes, it's a date, do something here... 
} else {
    // no, it's not a date, do something else here... 
}
