Date/time with minutes and seconds optional?

[Randall Parker]

I'm using this:
MyDateTimeStr = MyDateTimeVal.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt");
in C# to convert what I read from a form submit.

What I want is something more flexible where the minutes and seconds are optional.
How to do that?

I want to able to specify several variations as all legal:

6-30-2005 4pm
6-30-2005 4 pm
6-30-2005 4:30 pm
6-30-2005 4:30:15 pm
6-30-2005 4:30:15 p
6-30-05 4:30:15 pm

And similarly with slashes:

6/30/2005 4:30:15 pm

oops, copied the wrong line. This is what I'm using:

DateTime LastServiceDateTimeVal = DateTime.ParseExact(InputString,
"MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt",null);
