Unable to convert String to Date Time

Question

How do I convert string to date time? I am getting "2019-06-07T02" as string. I want to format string to date like below examples

Ex: 2019-06-07T02 -- Friday January 07,2019 2:00 AM

Ex: 2019-06-07T14 --- Friday January 07,2019 2:00 PM

You have two problems. Problem 1 - how to `ParseExact` a `string` to a `datetime`. Problem 2 - how to `ToString` from a `datetime` to a `string`. — mjwills, Jun 06 '19 at 07:03

Why down vote to my question . Is something wrong, pls. let me know will improve. but i see already 2 people answered and also up votes for answers. — PavanKumar GVVS, Jun 06 '19 at 07:28
@PavanKumarGVVS - The reason for the down-vote is that this kind of question is asked again and again on SO. When you asked your question you would have been prompted with many duplicates - and they should have been sufficient for you to answer your own question before you posted. SO attempts to eliminate all duplicates. — Enigmativity, Jun 06 '19 at 07:41

var input = "2019-06-07T14";
var datetime = DateTime.ParseExact(input, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
var output = datetime.ToString("dddd MMMM dd, yyyy h':'mm tt");

This does exactly what you need. (Source Docs)

Edit: I know it might be too manual but if you want to configure it more, this way you can, if not, go with oleksa's answer.

var str = "2019-06-07T02";
var dt = DateTime.ParseExact(str, "yyyy-MM-ddThh", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

var longstr = dt.ToLongDateString() + dt.ToLongTimeString();

please note that ToLongDateString and ToLongTimeString depends on windows user regional settings
