string not recognized as valid datetime with same format

Question

I have this string: 02/01/2019 13:00:00 I want get only the 02/01/2019, so I did:

var date = DateTime.ParseExact(match.datetime.ToString(), \"dd/MM/         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that in your format ("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss") you're specifying a 12-hour representation with "hh", but you're input is outside of that range: "13:00:00".

Answer 2

24 hour time is represented by HH for parsing, not hh.

Try something like this:

DateTime.ParseExact("02/01/2019 13:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
