Parsing a Date Like “Wednesday 13th January 2010” with .NET

Question

How can I convert the following strings to a System.DateTime object?

Wednesday 13th January 2010
Thursday 21st January 2010
Wednesday 3rd February 2010

Answer 1

Expanding on Kenny's approach, I added some code to pass integers to the DateTime variable...

string sDate = "Wednesday 13th January 2010";
string[] dateSplit = sDate.Split (' ');
string day = dateSplit[1].Substring(0, dateSplit[1].Length - 2);
int monthInDigit = DateTime.ParseExact(dateSplit[3], "MMMM", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Month;
DateTime date = new DateTime(Convert.ToInt16(year), monthInDigit, day);
