Don't try anything. Use the debugger and figure out what's going on.

This is because you are parsing the string without specifying exact format of the string representing time, which is not the same which is expected by default. Please specify the format exactly using one of the System.String.DateTime.ParseExact or System.String.DateTime.TryParseExact:

Remember that ParseExact throws exception is the recognition is failed, so you should either handle the exception, or use the TryParseExact form.

For format specifiers, please see:
