Parse string to DateTime in C#
(9 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
Needing expert advice for date format issue . I have a string value strDate= "03/04/2018" which is dd/mm/yyyy . I am trying to convert into format dd mmm yyyy . If I use (Convert.ToDateTime(strDate)).ToString("dd MMM yyyy") , this results in 4 Mar 2018 instead of 3 Apr 2018 .
Can anyone please suggest if this is dependent on the system and regional setting ? Is it possible to make it work independent of regional settings ?
var strDate = "03/04/2018";
var result = DateTime.ParseExact(strDate, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
.ToString("d MMM yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Can anybody help me convert this into date time format?
20210115122710
I need in format like
DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact("20210115122710", "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss", null);
You are parsing DateTime with wrong format, use "yyyyMMddHHmmss" instead of "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss",
DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact("20210115122710", "yyyyMMddHHmmss", null);
Now whenever you want to print it in given format, then use .ToString() method,
string dateInGivenFormat = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
Note: I used HH for hours instead of hh.
HH : Use of HH converts hours in 24-hours format i.e from 00 to 23.
hh : hh converts hours in 12-hours format i.e from 00 to 12.
If your time is in 12-hour format then use hh otherwise use HH.

I am trying to get this date 4th April 2021 12:00 which is todays date into a DateTime object.
I am in the UK and the emulator's locale is set to GB summer time and the format looks correct in it's setting page.
I have a date as a string:
string dateTimeStr = "08-04-2021 12:00";
I have tried this:
t = DateTime.Parse(dateTimeStr);
I get a datetime object of
4th Aug 2021 12:00
How can I parse a date as a string to DateTime and be sure that the month and the day will not be swapped?
DateTime.ParseExact(dateTimeStr, "dd/MMM/yyyy hh:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
you can use ParseExact and mention the date format as per your requirement.

Parse DateTime with time zone of form PST/CEST/UTC/etc
(6 answers)

I need to convert this string to DateTime: "10/1/19 4:19:38 AM UTC"
I have tried the below and get various errors.
CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
DateTime.ParseExact(value.ToString(), "MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss tt KKK", provider);
DateTime.ParseExact(value.ToString(), "MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss t K", provider)
this is different from Parse DateTime with time zone of form PST/CEST/UTC/etc as it is parsing an alpha month name
"UTC" is something that can't be parsed. You should use e.g. "+02:00" as a time zone indicator.
Remove the "UTC" from the end, after that go with this format:
"M/d/yy h:m:s tt".
Or change "UTC" to "+02:00" and use this format:
"M/d/yy h:m:s tt K"

DateTime Conversion and Parsing DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss.fff")
(3 answers)

I need to convert from a "human readable" date format to DateTime, for example:
From: January 20, 2013
To: MM/dd/yyyy
Does anybody know what's the format or if there's one for doing this with DateTime.Parse and providing the format? I just want to check before jumping into a date parser.
Custom Date and Time Format Strings
MMMM dd, yyyy is a format string you're looking for.
Use DateTime.ParseExact or DateTime.TryParseExact to parse the datetime using specific format string.
After parsing you'll be able to print the value in format you want:
string input = "20, 2013";
DateTime value;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(input, "dd, yyyy", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out value))
{
string output = value.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
}
I'm not quite sure your goal, but are you trying to format your DateTime based upon which MM/dd/yyyy format that you choose?
If you are you would simply do:
DateTime.Now.ToString(MM/dd/yyy);
DateTime.Now.ToString(MMMM, MM dd, yyyy);
DateTime.Now.ToString(MMMM, MM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss);
Essentially you have to use these:
Capital MM : Represents the Month, so MMMM (Also creates the Long Date).
Lowercase d : Will represent the day.
Lowercase y: Will represent the year.
Then the hh:mm:ss will actually add an hour, minute, second.
You can also utilize Parse to also ensure it is correctly captured.
Essentially you can easily manage or alter the Format based on whatever you require. MSDN has some great articles on this as well.
Hopefully that helps. Looks like while I was posting a few answers got generated. So your going to get some solid feedback.

I am getting date and time returned from an API as a string in the following format:
Mon Aug 13 15:04:51 -0400 2012
Does anyone have experience with how I can turn this into a DateTime?
How about
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("Mon Aug 13 15:04:51 -0400 2012",
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss K yyyy",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
You should read about Custom Date and Time Format Strings
Have a look at the DateTime.Parse method.
Or if you are not sure that the parsing will succeed, use the DateTime.TryParse method.
For unconventional date and time strings use the DateTime.ParseExact method.
