Question

I want to convert a string to datatime. Here is my code:

DateTime? dt = null;
dt = DateTime.Parse(postdate[i]);

It works only for dd/mm/yyyy, not work for mm/dd/yyyy because on my computer the date format is set as dd/MM/yyyy in Control Panel.

So if I want to use the application always accept valid format mm/dd/yyyy, no matter the windows date format setting is. How to implement this in c# code?

I think this should work:

    DateTime? dt = null;
    dt = DateTime.ParseExact(postdate[i], "MM/dd/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
