Date conversion error

Question

I am developing a Windows application.

That I have a date in a string format like → fileDate="15/03/2013"

I want it to be converted to a date format, since the field is my database datetime.

I used the following things for this →

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(fileDate, "yyyyy-DD-MM", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(fileDate);

Both of these methods were unsuccessful, giving me an error →

String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

What could be a mistake?

Is there any other way to do this?

This is because the string "03/15/2013" cannot be parsed as a DateTime with the string format "yyyy-MM-dd HH: ss".

You must specify the date format according to the date string you must ParseExact . You Can See More on Custom DateTime Format - MSDN

Edit

"yyyy-MM-dd HH:ss"

For

"dd/MM/yyyy"

Your code will be

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(fileDate, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
