White space issue when parsing datetime Options

[parez]

Hi All,

i have two accepted formats.


expectedFormats = New String() {"%M/%d/yyyy", "%M/%d/yyyy hh:mm:ss
tt"}


dt = DateTime.ParseExact(txtInpDateString.Text, expectedFormats,
culture.DateTimeFormat,
Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AllowWhiteSpaces)


and i get 05/14/200711:22:33 AM as a valid date. (Note: there is no
space between year and time) and i am pretty sure zero lenght string
is not a white space.


Please help

Are you saying that you want the parsing to fail in that situation?

AllowWhiteSpace means "be flexible with whitespace". Remove that option.
