Convert Date String to DateTime

Question

I have to convert a date string to a DateTime object as follows

tmpdate = "27-Apr 14:53";
TheDate = DateTime.ParseExact(tmpdate, "DD-MMM HH:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);  

I keep getting exceptions about the string not being a valid date time. I've tried adding in the year as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Try dd-MMM HH:mm - note lowercased dd .

Answer 2

try with little d:

TheDate = DateTime.ParseExact(tmpdate, "dd-MMM HH:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Answer 3

string tmpdate = "27-Apr 14:53";
DateTime TheDate = DateTime.ParseExact(tmpdate, "dd-MMM HH:mm", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
