Hi you do not have date in your string.. so It might give some issue. otherwise you can use convert.ToDateTime("04/05/2014");

See SharathKumaar you don't have a date. you only have month and year. so if you want in dd/mm/yyyy the system doesn't know which date you want..

but if you want in some other format like yyyy/mm or yyyy/mmm then I can help..

A DateTime value doesn't know about a format - it's just a date and a time. You can create a new DateTime value with the relevant information:

DateTime expiry = new DateTime(Convert.ToInt32(ddExpYear),
Convert.ToInt32(ddExpMonth),
1);
... but how that is "saved" is entirely up to you. If you give us more information, we may be able to help you more. You can format it to a string easily enough:

string formatted = expiry.ToString("yyyy/MM");
... but that may not be what you're after.

string s;
s ="June/2014";
Console.WriteLine("frmmonth="Convert.ToDateTime(s).ToString("MMMM/yyyy"));
. This would help you out.

You can also get the date by the following way.
string s;
s ="10/June/2014";
Console.WriteLine("frmmonth="Convert.ToDateTime(s).ToString("dd/MMMM/yyyy"));

Solution 2

check DateTime.ParseExact Method[^]

C#

DateTime frmmonth =DateTime.ParseExact(s,"MMMM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Solution 3

you don't have date in your string please refer the link below this might help you.
this link can help you

or you can take any date default if you want to convert in dd/mm/yyyy, for that you need to make your own function to add the hardcoded fixed date in your string then try to convert in date format
