Need to convert a string to normal datetime format so it can be correctly inserted onto a datetime type field.
String Format:
4/21/2010 4:43:03 PM
Example:
2010-04-21 16:43:03.000
I have clarified question:
The need is to change format and not type.
“Normal datetime” is a bit vague. Normal format is related to the culture you are running under.
Assuming your original string is parsable in your running culture, and you want to reformat it to the other string in your question you could do this:
[Edit – Forget the .ToString() part]
Re-read the question, and using parse will return a DateTime object which can be reused.
