are you just converting between cultures? If yes, just use different Cultures on Conversion and no format string is needed.

Don't. Instead, convert it to a DateTime using either the users current DateTime settings or an absolute string. Then keep it as a DateTime until you actually need to format it for a display, and convert it then:

C#

string date = "01/11/2011 13:24:17";
DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(date, "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,DateTimeStyles.None , out dt))
    {
    ...
    }

C#

string output = dt.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
