无法将字符串识别为有效的DateTime。 “28 \\ 08 \\ 2014”

Question

I have this format in our database "26\\08\\2014" but when I try to use the Convert.ToDateTime and DateTime.Parse its not working but when I change the data from "26\\08\\2014" to "08\\26\\2014" using the Immediate Window, it works.

Current Code:
string dateFromDB = @"26/08/2014"; //day/month/year DateTime date = DateTime.Parse(dateFromDB);

Answer 1

You need to escape the backslashes in the format string to prevent them from being interpreted by the format engine:

@"MM\\dd\\yyyy"

Also, 28 is not a valid month.

Answer 2

Try this one:

DateTime.ParseExact(@"28\08\2014", @"dd\\MM\\yyyy",
    CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None)

Answer 3

尝试：

DateTime.ParseExact("28\\08\\2014", @"dd\\MM\\yyyy", null)
