No, your problem is different: not reading documentation:

Hi Dino and Sergey, I have done enough google search..didn't get the solution. I have tried the below code string fromdate = DTPFromDate.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"); string todate = DTPToDate.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"); IFormatProvider culture = new CultureInfo("en-GB"); DateTime dtfromdate = DateTime.ParseExact(fromdate, "MM/dd/yyyy",CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-gb")); But the output is dd/MM/yyyy.

Read again, this time with some thinking... At least look at code samples available on these pages, they show how to do it correctly. —SA

The proper way to do this is actually this

var newValue = DateTime.ParseExact( "10/25/2000", "MM/dd/yyyy" );

Hi All, Thanks for the replies. I have tried the below code string fromdate = DTPFromDate.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"); string todate = DTPToDate.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"); IFormatProvider culture = new CultureInfo("en-GB"); DateTime dtfromdate = DateTime.ParseExact(fromdate, "MM/dd/yyyy",CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-gb")); But the output is dd/MM/yyyy. Please suggest something new.

If you want your output to be different, just output it with dtfromDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"). As long as it is parsing correctly, you can output your date any which way you would like by adding a format string to the ToString call.

Are you serious? Who told you that you should right this gibberish? Did any of the answers by Marcus or myself advice you to do something like that? Where did you find it? Look, what's the use of giving your advice if you don't even try to follow it? —SA

I want the output to be a Datetime and not converting it into string.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov - 22 Jan '13 - 14:30

Who, who gave you an advice to convert anything to string?! where? Are you just trolling? will be reported as such... —SA

Sure, my 5, but I don't think it makes sense do discuss anything with OP anymore. What else should be told? —SA
