DateTime.ParseExact raises FormatException

Question

The code:

DateTime.ParseExact("2/2/2002", "dd/MM/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

is raising System.FormatException.

I'll really appreciate if anybody could tell me what am I doing wrong.

DateTime.ParseExact("02/02/2002", "dd/MM/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) — dbugger, Feb 12 '13 at 03:46

8

it should be d/M/yyyy

DateTime.ParseExact("2/2/2002", "d/M/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

the reason of exception is that it converts two places for dd but the string found is 2/.
