From DateTime.ParseExact
Converts the specified string representation of a date and time to its DateTime equivalent using the specified format and culture-specific format information. The format of the string representation must match the specified format exactly.
In your case, they are not.
You can use dd/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt format instead. Here an example;
string s = "13/5/2014 12:00:00 AM";
var date = DateTime.ParseExact(s, "dd/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.WriteLine(date);
DateTime has no implicit format, it is just a DateTime value. You can format it as string with DateTime.ToString() method like;
date.ToString("yyyy-M-dd hh:mm:ss");
Take a look at;
public string DateConvertion(string Input)
{
var date = DateTime.ParseExact(Input, "dd/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
return date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
}
This would print todays date in that format
string date = DateTime.Today.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
Console.WriteLine(date);
