Do you want to show minutes or not?
You are inserting a value or displaying?

Corrected my code to your format . Tested it and working:

C#

DateTime date;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact("21-01-2009 14:59::59:PM", "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm::ss:tt", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-GB"), DateTimeStyles.None, out date))
{
   MessageBox.Show("Success");
}

Solution 2

C#

if (DateTime.TryParse(dr["PatientCreationDate"].ToString().Replace("::",":"), out  TempDate))
            {
                CreationDate = TempDate;
            }

Happy Coding!
