I am having a date like "19/01/2018 15:30" as string.
I need to convert this to a DateTime object.
I am getting error:
String was not recognized as a valid datetime
This is my code:
DateTime drawDatetime = DateTime.ParseExact("19/01/2018 15:30"
, "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss", null);

You format string contains seconds but the date doesn't. Try this instead:
DateTime drawDatetime = DateTime.ParseExact(
"19/01/2018 15:30",
"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm", null);

im gettin the date in this format "3/16/2017 10:53:44 PM", how to get date in this format "16/3/2017 10:53:44 PM"
sample data
"timestamp":"2017-03-16T17:23:44.860Z"
desired op
"16/3/2017 10:53:44 PM"
code
binModel.UpdatedTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(Convert.ToDateTime(bin.timestamp), TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time")).ToString();
data type
public String UpdatedTime { get; set; }

Or Try to parse the datetime.
For example
DateTime dateformat = DateTime.ParseExact(Convert.ToDateTime(bin.timestamp), "dd/M/yyyy h:mm:ss tt",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
binModel.UpdatedTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(dateformat,TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time")).ToString();

You need to convert it to string:
binModel.UpdatedTime = bin.timestamp.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
For more information: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx

A DateTime has no display format.
Only string represnetations of DateTime does.
You can specify the desired format as a parameter in one of the the ToString method overloads of the DateTime struct:
var s = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt");
Now s contains the folowing string: "23/3/2017 09:01:32 AM" (my local time)

var currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

I have a string stored in table "13/12/1985 12:00:00 a.m." when i tried to convert this to Datetime, i am getting an exception saying "String is not a valid DateTime Format". It is because the first part of the string(13) is month. Is there any way to convert the above string to (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss am/pm) format?. Actually the string saved in table is in the format of "dd/mm/yyyy". I want to convert to "mm/dd/yyyy" in Datetime

Try this, its convert dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt format datetime to MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt format
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("26/04/2016 12:00:00 PM", "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string newdate = dt.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt")

I'm trying to parse the following DateTime in C#:
string date = "Wed Jul 25 19:41:36 2012 +0200"
DateTime result = DateTime.Parse(date);
And I'm getting the following error:
System.FormatException : String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
Anybody knows what is the problem here?

You can use DateTime.ParseExact() for that. For example
UPDATED:
string dateString = "Your date";
string format = "ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy %K";
DateTime dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format,
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.WriteLine(dateTime);
Documentation Here and DateTime string formatting options here.
You can also view here {Complr.com}

You need to specify the parsing format as that is non-standard. DateTime.ParseExact allows you to specify the format.
Something like this will work, however I've yet to verify if that time-zone part is working correctly, seems to give me a date/time at 1800 hrs... Ah this is because where I am it is BST (GMT +1).
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string date = "Wed Jul 25 19:41:36 2012 +0200";
string format = "ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy %K";
//string format = "ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy zzz"; // Also works.
DateTime dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(date, format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.ReadLine();
}
DateTime string formatting options are documented here, you can create a parse string using any combination of these to parse a DateTime successfully.

How to convert string with unusual format into datetime
How can I convert a string to DateTime in c#? example:
string s = "20070406000000";
How can I convert that string into a DateTime?

Use the ParseExact or TryParseExact method:
DateTime t = DateTime.ParseExact("20070406000000", "yyyyMMddHHmmss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

This CodeProject article explains how to do this.
String MyString = "1999-09-01 21:34 PM";
DateTime MyDateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(MyString, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Use DateTime.ParseExact()
CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
var date = DateTime.ParseExact(theDateString, "yyyyMMddHHmmss", provider);

You will need to use the DateTime.ParseExact function to tell it what the format of the string is so it knows how to convert it.
string strDate = "20070406000000";
string strDateTimeFormat = "yyyyMMddHHmmss";
DateTime objDate = DateTime.ParseExact(strDate, strDateTimeFormat, DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);
