  • You have to remove the `PST`part,and then it's easy to parse the string with `ParseExact` and `"ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm"` – Pikoh Mar 17 '17 at 10:06

How about converting it into a char array and then using that to reconstruct your string. for example:

  string str = "Thu, 07 Jan 2016 07:00 PST"
  var Chrarry = str.ToCharArray();
  //use a switch statament to find out that numerical value your month has for example jan = 01
  string newstr = chrarray[5] + chrarray[6] + "/"....

You can change the format of DateTime. Try (dd/MM/yyyy)

Sample code:

DateTime now1 = DateTime.Now(); var now = now.ToString("dd/MM/yyy");
