Question

string DateCreated = "2012-05-24 12:34:40.060"; USA culture

How do I create the string into a Date time object with a format that include the month,
day, year, hour, minutes, seconds, milliseconds.
I think the format is this “MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss.fff tt” but not sure.
** ** = underline in red, its an error

I need the datetime object because I want to pass it through another function that only accept a value of “DateTime” and not a string

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

this is what I have so far but i know its wrong

  string DateCreated = "2012-05-24 12:34:40.060";
  DateTime dt = **new DateTime(DateCreated);** 
  DateTime dateCreated = **dateCreated.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss.fff tt")**;

Answer 1

var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(DateCreated, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff");
