You don't need the ParseExact method, the Parse method is sufficient because it allows your date representation. See DateTime - The string to parse for an overview of allowed input formats.

This means the following works:

DateTime parsed = DateTime.Parse(sample);

Console.WriteLine(parsed.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"));

And the result is:

10/21/2013 14:10:49
