Why
1.3freturns true onTryParse? Because theTryParsemethod take that as valid input. Probably, some of supported date formats separates token by dot. You may want to try method:DateTime.TryParse(String, IFormatProvider, DateTimeStyles, DateTime%)and as IFormatProvider supplyCultureInfo.createSpecificCulture("en-US or whatever you want").or
DateTime.TryParseExact, which allows you to supply specific format to parse the string into a DateTime object.
