1217 is in format MMYY. What's an issue?

Solution 1

Not 100% sure what this will come up with. It will most likely be 01 dec 2017. It depends on how you want to use it. If you use it as a range then you will have to also find the end of the month

C#

DateTime.ParseExact("1217", "MMYY", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

End of Month:

C#

DateTime.ParseExact("1217", "MMYY", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1);

Solution 2

try with MMyy

C#

DateTime.ParseExact("1217", "MMyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

There is no capital Y format in datetime formats!

Quote:
here are following custom format specifiers y (year), M (month), d (day), h (hour 12), H (hour 24), m (minute), s (second), f (second fraction), F (second fraction, trailing zeroes are trimmed), t (P.M or A.M) and z (time zone).

DateTime doesn't have a format so there is no such thing as "datetime with format". The best you'll be able to do is to convert your 1207 string into an arbitrary datetime such as 1 Dec 2017 with the understanding that the day part is irrelevant.

C#

string s = "1217";
DateTime dt;
DateTime.TryParseExact("01" + s, "ddMMyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out dt);

// dt now represents 1st Dec 2017
// add 3 months
dt = dt.AddMonths(3);

// convert back to MMyy
s = dt.ToString("MMyy");

Solution 4

string[] formats = { "MMyy" }
var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("1712", formats, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, DateTimeStyles.None);
