C#

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo myFormat = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
myFormat.DateSeparator = "-";
myFormat.TimeSeparator = ":";
myFormat.AMDesignator = "AM";
myFormat.PMDesignator = "PM";

DateTime myDate = DateTime.MinValue;
string data = "04-13-13 05:25PM";

if (DateTime.TryParseExact(data, "MM-dd-yy hh:mmtt", myFormat, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AllowWhiteSpaces, out myDate))
{
    // Correct
}
else
{
    // Wrong
}

return myDate;
