Where you want to Convert ... in SQL or Code Behind ??

Store DateTime values as DateTimes and you won't have to do any conversion.

SQL

SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, '10/16/2014 10:20:20 PM') AS MyDateTime

In case of convertion failed because of 'out of range' error message, use SET DATETIMEFORMAT command[^].

SQL

SET DATETIMEFORMAT mdy;
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, '10/16/2014 10:20:20 PM') AS MyDateTime
