String to datetime: not recognized as a valid DateTime

Question

Ok so after some research I haven't found any way to solve my problem .

This is my String to Date conversion code:

DateTime startDate = new DateTime();
startDate = DateTime.ParseExact(this.items[5], "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", 
                                CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

And this is the string I want to convert:

"22/2/2013 09:57:32"

But when I compile I have this error:

String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Your pattern should be "dd/M/yyyy HH:mm:ss"

MM requires leading 0, which is not provided in your input string.

Answer 2

You need a single M instead of MM for month . So format should be: "dd/M/yyyy HH:mm:ss"

Answer 3

Just 只需要 EX:
