C＃将字符串转换为DateTime

Question

i have string token[5] = Aug and string token[6]=1 (see on image )

i want to convert to DateTime.

i try:

DateTime DateCreated = DateTime.ParseExact(tokens[5] + tokens[6], "MM-dd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Answer 1

There are a few issues:

• You were missing the expected hyphen "-" from the built string tokens[5] + tokens[6] .
• Your MM would expect a two-digit month, for a three letter shorthand month use MMM .
• Finally, your dd expects a two-digit day (so in your case, 01 instead of 1). Use d to take one- or two-digit days.

With all this said and done, you don't actually need the hyphen:

var dateCreated = DateTime.ParseExact(tokens[5] + tokens[6], "MMMd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
