Conversion from string “31/03/2012” to type 'Date' is not valid

I tried Data.Parse and Convert.todatetime but now it says that
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime. I also configured .NetGlobalozation and setUI Culture to “English (United States) (en-US)” with the default “Invariant Language (Invariant Country)” but no use. What am i missing ?? The stack trace is as follows..

[FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.]

31/03/2012 is not a valid english-us date. english-us uses a “month/day/year” ordering, while your input date is “day/month/year”.

03/31/2012 is the right ordering for your input, or use a different locale (french…).
