hi you may also use TryParseExact... try. DateTime newdate; var isDate = DateTime.TryParseExact(22-12-2013 dd-MM-yyyy null System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.Noneout newdate); string myformatDate; if (isDate) { myformatDate = newdate.ToString(MM-dd-yyyy); } else { myformatDate = DateTime.Now.ToString(MM-dd-yyyy); } hope this will help you.

Try: DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(22-12-2012 dd-MM-yyyy null); string date = dt.ToString(MM-dd-yyyy);

change date from "22-12-2012" to "12-22-2012"
