Even though i have 

<globalization uiCulture="en" culture="en-GB" requestEncoding="utf-8" />

in web.config DateTime.TryParse, without passing CultureInfo, is ignoring my current Culture .

Application is a C# MVC3 web application.

Is there any solution for this.

    MSDN says that TryParse should use current culture info. Can you give us an example of incorrect parsing? Also you can use TryParseExact - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/system.datetime.tryparseexact.aspx , if it can be a solution for you. – Smileek May 17 '12 at 08:23
  • Now I understand, that the web.config for the MVC application is not applied, to the child aspx web application. Once I modified the web.config in the aspx application folder it works fine. Thank you for the replies. – Rafi May 17 '12 at 08:42

@Smileek right, but you always can try something like this

DateTime dateResult;
dateString = "03/01/2009 10:00 AM";
culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
styles = DateTimeStyles.None;
DateTime.TryParse(dateString, culture, styles, out dateResult);
