Converting Dd/Mm/Yyyy Formatted String to Datetime

Converting dd/mm/yyyy formatted string to Datetime

You need to use DateTime.ParseExact with format "dd/MM/yyyy"

DateTime dt=DateTime.ParseExact("24/01/2013", "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Its safer if you use d/M/yyyy for the format, since that will handle both single digit and double digits day/month. But that really depends if you are expecting single/double digit values.

---

Your date format day/Month/Year might be an acceptable date format for some cultures. For example for Canadian Culture en-CA DateTime.Parse would work like:

DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("24/01/2013", new CultureInfo("en-CA"));

Or

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-CA");
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("24/01/2013"); //uses the current Thread's culture

Both the above lines would work because the the string's format is acceptable for en-CA culture. Since you are not supplying any culture to your DateTime.Parse call, your current culture is used for parsing which doesn't support the date format. Read more about it at DateTime.Parse.

Another method for parsing is using DateTime.TryParseExact

DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact("24/01/2013", 
                            "d/M/yyyy", 
                            CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, 
                            DateTimeStyles.None,
    out dt))
{
    //valid date
}
else
{
    //invalid date
}

The TryParse group of methods in .Net framework doesn't throw exception on invalid values, instead they return a bool value indicating success or failure in parsing.

Notice that I have used single d and M for day and month respectively. Single d and M works for both single/double digits day and month. So for the format d/M/yyyy valid values could be:

• "24/01/2013"
• "24/1/2013"
• "4/12/2013" //4 December 2013
• "04/12/2013"

How to convert dd/MM/YYYY formatted string date to YYYY-MM-dd datetime?

You parse the string with date in wrong way.
You should:

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("04/26/2016", "MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));

Convert string dd/mm/yy to datetime

Your code seems ok, but also you can convert a string into datetime like below

DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact("11/02/2016", "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
return d;

if you have string as dd/MM/yy format and need to convert it as dd/MM/yyyy fomat datetime then you can do like this

DateTime temp = DateTime.ParseExact("11/02/16", "dd/MM/yy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact(temp.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"), "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
return d

Converting a UK formatted string DateTime (dd/MM/yyyy) to a valid DateTime where the culture may change

Method 1 - You can use ParseExact by giving the input format

string inputdate = "01/12/2019";
var date = DateTime.ParseExact(inputdate, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Method 2 - If you have many input formats, you can use TryParseExact

string inputdate = "01/12/2019";
DateTime dateTime = ParseDate(inputdate )

private static DateTime ParseDate(string providedDate)
{
    DateTime validDate;
    string[] formats = { "dd/MM/yyyy", "dd.MM.yyyy" };
    var dateFormatIsValid = DateTime.TryParseExact(
        providedDate,
        formats,
        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
        DateTimeStyles.None,
        out validDate);
    return dateFormatIsValid ? validDate : DateTime.MinValue;
}

How to convert dd/mm/yyyy string into JavaScript Date object?

MM/DD/YYYY format

If you have the MM/DD/YYYY format which is default for JavaScript, you can simply pass your string to Date(string) constructor. It will parse it for you.

var dateString = "10/23/2015"; // Oct 23

var dateObject = new Date(dateString);

document.body.innerHTML = dateObject.toString();

how to format String to Date with format dd-mm-yyyy in java

tl;dr

LocalDate
.parse( "2022-05-12" )
.format(
    DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "dd-MM-uuuu" )
)

12-05-2022

java.time

Use modern java.time classes. Never use the terrible Date, Calendar, SimpleDateFormat classes.

ISO 8601

Your input conforms to ISO 8601 standard format used by default in the java.time classes for parsing/generating text. So no need to specify a formatting pattern.

LocalDate

Parse your date-only input as a date-only object, a LocalDate.

String input = "2022-05-12" ;
LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse( input ) ;

To generate text in your desired format, specify a formatting pattern.

DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "dd-MM-uuuu" ) ;
String output = ld.format( f ) ;

Rather than hardcode a particular pattern, I suggest learning to automatically localize using DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate.

All this has been covered many many times already on Stack Overflow. Always search thoroughly before posting. Search to learn more.

Converting string format to datetime in mm/dd/yyyy

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);
