According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/23198962/328864, there is no way to skip parts of an exact pattern, so i guess you could do something like this:

CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
string timestamp = "10-DEC-07 10.32.47.797201123 AM";
String format = String.Format("yy-MMM-dd hh.mm.ss.fffffff{0} tt", timestamp.Substring(26,2));

DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact(timestamp, format, provider);
Console.WriteLine(date);

Not very pretty though.
