Converting string format to datetime in mm/dd/yyyy

by

You are looking for the DateTime.Parse() method (MSDN Article)

So you can do:

var dateTime = DateTime.Parse("01/01/2001");

Which will give you a DateTime typed object.

If you need to specify which date format you want to use, you would use DateTime.ParseExact (MSDN Article)

Which you would use in a situation like this (Where you are using a British style date format):

string[] formats= { "dd/MM/yyyy" }
var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("01/01/2001", formats, new CultureInfo("en-US"), DateTimeStyles.None);
