I want to format/ convert in given format.
I have written following line....

ConvertedValue = Convert.ToDateTime(CValue.Trim()).ToString(StrWizFormat.Trim());

private static DateTime ConvertFieldDatetimeFormat(string DValue, string DFormat)
    {
        System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dateInfo = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
        dateInfo.ShortDatePattern = DFormat;
        DateTime CnvDtValue;

        if (DValue.Trim() != string.Empty)
        {
            CnvDtValue = Convert.ToDateTime(DValue.Trim(), dateInfo);
        }

Solution 1

If you have a specific format to to convert, use TryParseExact:

C#

DateTime dt;
string date = "31/12/2011";
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(date, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
    {
    }
