Solution 2

For the Convert.ToDateTime call, it's okay (or should be). For the ParseExact call, your format string needs to be this:

"M/dd/yyyy h:mm"

Solution 3

try this,

string strDateTime = "2/28/1992 12:15:12";
DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.Parse(strDateTime );

Or

myDate = DateTime.ParseExact("2009-05-08 14:40:52,531", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,fff",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
