Question

I want to convert a date in string format into Datetime without spliting it.I tried
but any of those not working properly.can I do this by using DateTimeConverter . I have no idea about DateTimeConverter

Answer 1

1.

DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime("2012/10/18")

2.

DateTimeFormatInfo dtFormat = new System.GlobalizationDateTimeFormatInfo();

dtFormat.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy/MM/dd";

DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime("2012/10/18", dtFormat);

3.

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("2012/10/18", "yyyyMMdd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);

or

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("2012/10/18", "yyyyMMdd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

ps:
CultureInfo cultureInfo = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
string format = "ddd MMM d HH:mm:ss zz00 yyyy";
string stringValue = DateTime.Now.ToString(format, cultureInfo);
DateTime datetime = DateTime.ParseExact("Wed Aug 25 16:28:03 +0800 2010", format, cultureInfo);
