DateTime.TryParseExact not working with expected string

Question

Hi I have the following method and I\'m passing it the value \"07 Jan 2014 13:48:46\" and from what I understand the TryParseExact should be matching the format \"dd MMM yyyy hh

Answer 1

Because none of your format have 24-hour clock.

hh specifier is for 01 to 12. It doesn't have 13 as an hour.

Use HH specifier instead which is for 00 to 23.

Answer 2

24-hour time requires use of HH, not hh. Lowercase h is for 12 hour time.
