//error string date

string s = "2012-4-5-02";
DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParse(s,out dt))
    MessageBox.Show(dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));
else
    MessageBox.Show("error date");

// output : 2012-04-05
// why it can output a good date format? not is display “error date”.

    TryParse and Parse are relatively lenient – more lenient than I personally tend to like.

    If you want a more rigorous parsing process, using DateTime.TryParseExact.
