Answer 1

I am using this function to tryparse

public static bool TryParseSqlDateTime(string someval, DateTimeFormatInfo dateTimeFormats, out DateTime tryDate)
    {
        bool valid = false;
        tryDate = (DateTime)System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.MinValue;
        System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime sdt;
        if (DateTime.TryParse(someval, dateTimeFormats, DateTimeStyles.None, out tryDate))
        {
            try
            {
                sdt = new System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime(tryDate);
                valid = true;
            }
            catch (System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlTypeException ex)
            {

            }
        }

        return valid;
    }
