I am using Datetime.TryParse
method to check the valid datetime. the input date string would be any string data. but is returning false as the specify date in invalid.
DateTime fromDateValue;
if (DateTime.TryParse("15/07/2012", out fromDateValue))
{
//do for valid date
}
else
{
//do for in-valid date
}
Edit: i missed. i need to check the valid date with time as "15/07/2012 12:00:00".
Any suggestions are welcome....
As the others said, you can use
TryParseExact
.For more informations and the use with the time, you can check the MSDN Documentation
You could use the TryParseExact method which allows you to pass a collection of possible formats that you want to support. The
TryParse
method is culture dependent so be very careful if you decide to use it.So for example:
You should be using
TryParseExact
as you seem to have the format fixed in your case.Something like can also work for you
