c# - DateTime.Parse throws exception "not support in System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar" -

string formatstring = "mmddyyyyhhmmss"; string sample = "20100611221912"; datetime dt = datetime.parseexact(sample, formatstring, system.globalization.cultureinfo.invariantculture); 

the specific exception thrown is:

system.formatexception: datetime represented string not supported in calendar system.globalization.gregoriancalendar.

your format should be:

string formatstring = "yyyymmddhhmmsss"; 

(it can "yyyyddmmhhmmsss", if 06-noveber-2010)

considering date dt = {11/06/2010 10:19:12 pm} (11-june-2010)

for current format:

mmddyyyyhhmmss 20100611221912 

mm can't 20, since mm stands month. code should be:

string formatstring = "yyyymmddhhmmsss"; string sample = "20100611221912";  datetime dt = datetime.parseexact(sample, formatstring, system.globalization.cultureinfo.invariantculture);
