DateTime and ParseExact

[Guest]

Hi

Why does this alway return false ????
I would think I have all the correct formats

Is there a built in format ie f,F,g,G for datetime with AM/PM ???

Thanks

string[] dateFormats = { "f", "F", "g", "G",
"dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm tt",
"MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm tt",
"dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt",
"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt",
"dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm tt",
"MM.dd.yyyy hh:mm tt"
};
bool bResult = DateTime.TryParseExact("10/18/2007 12:00 AM",
dateFormats, null, DateTimeStyles.None,
out date);

I have CultureInfo = "es-ES"

I don't think tt (AM/PM) works with es-ES, so try and specify en-US.

Hi,

I agree with Arne, culture "es-ES" doesn't support "AM/PM" in datetime
format.

You can find all culture's information using Culture Explorer:

#GotDotNet User Sample: Culture Explorer 2.0

Hope this helps.
