Hi i have a string like "22/5/2006 12:00:00 pµ" and i want to create
a string like "05/22/06"
could someone please

Take a look at DateTime.Parse and DateTime.ParseExact. Once you have a valid
DateTime object you can use its ToString method to format the output

Try:
System.DateTime MyTime = System.DateTime.Now;

System.Console.WriteLine(MyTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss "));

If you wan't to parse any data type, then you have to be a bit more
specific about what kind of data you can expect, and how that should be
interpreted.

let me be a little more specific then i have this proerpty called
formatstring and a user can put in design mode any format string he
wants and the type representation.

but code doesn't know the type so to use the appropriate method

does that make any sense to u? how to procceed

I think that you have to be even more specific. Try to explain what it
is that you are trying to accomplish, rather then how you think that it
should be done.
