Question

DateTime.Parse fails on

 15/08/2000 16:58

Any thoughts?

I need to parse dates and get some international.

DD/MM/YYYY will not flop to 24 hour clock

MM/DD/YYYY will accept 24 hour clock

15/08/2000 4:58 PM will parse

From the Kibbee answer I looked at using other cultures.
I use Regex to determine if it is dd/MM and if so use culture fr-FR.

Answer 1

Try DateTime.ParseExact():

var result = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString,
                                 "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm",
                                 new CultureInfo("en-US"));
