Change the first occurence of "mm:dd:yyyy" to "dd:MM:yyyy" and the second to "MM:dd:yyyy" and it works. Lower case mm refers to minutes, upper case to month.

Solution 5

C#

var dt = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("dd:MM:yyyy hh:mm:ss"); // Date to string
var nDt = DateTime.ParseExact(dt, "dd:MM:yyyy hh:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); // String to datetime
 
var sdt = nDt.ToString("MM:dd:yyyy"); // Back to formatted string

C#

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dateInfo = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
 dateInfo.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";//i am getting date in this format 
 DateTime temp;
 string toDate = txtToDate.Text;
 temp = Convert.ToDateTime(toDate, dateInfo); 
 toDate = temp.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy").Trim();//converting dd/MM/yyyy to MM/dd/yyyy
