Question
I need to convert "28/08/2012" to MM/dd/YYYY
format that means "08/28/2012".
How can I do that?
I am using below code , but it threw exception to me.
DateTime.ParseExact("28/08/2012", "ddMMyyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
Solution
but it threw exception to me
Problem:
Your date contains /
seperator ("28/08/2012"
) and you are not giving that in your date string format ("ddMMyyyy"
).
Solution:
It should be "dd/MM/yyyy"
.
This way
DateTime.ParseExact("28/08/2012", "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
After doing that we will receive a DateTime object with your populated dates which is transferred to string using .ToString()
with desired date format "MM/dd/yyyy"
and optional culture info CultureInfo.InvariantCulture
.
OTHER TIPS
Since your original date is in en-GB
culture, you can create a CultureInfo
object and parse your DateTime
naturally.
string date = "28/08/2012";
System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GB");
Convert.ToDateTime(date,ci.DateTimeFormat).ToString("d");//short date pattern
(OR)
DateTime.Parse(date,ci.DateTimeFormat).ToString("d");
