How to convert a date string to datetime value with custom date format?

e.g.
Date String Date Format Result (DateTime value)
"05/07/2004" "MM/dd/yyyy" May 7, 2004
"01062005" "ddMMyyyy" June 1, 2005
"09-07-05" "MM-dd-yy" Sept 7, 2005

Is there any functions to convert?

Hello,
You can use DateTime.Prase static method. You will have to provide the
format (IFormatProvide r) using the
System.Globaliz ation.DateTimeF ormatInfo class. Please see MSDN for the
1. DateTime.Prase method
2. DateTimeFormatI nfo class

HTH. Cheers.

I get from the dateTimePicker the value: string="12/18/2003 11:52:28 AM" Now I need to convert this to dateTime. Any function I use: Convert.ToDateTime(string) or Cdate(string), I get an error message: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime. What should I do? Use replace function and mid function on string and at the end convert it to date? Thank you for your answer, Simon

I have an applicatoin that works 100% perfect when running on a machine setup for English (United States), but when I change it to Spanish (Mexico), the dates start giving me fits. THe reason is USA is mm/dd/yyyy and mexico is dd/mm/yyyy.
