Question

How to convert below DateTime into C# (mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss)

Oct 27 2022 9:09:50:693PM

Error string was not in recognized format

Tried with below code:

var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US", true);
DateTime LastUpdateDate = DateTime.Parse("Oct 27 2022  9:09:50:693PM", cultureInfo, DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault);

Does this answer your question? [Parse a string containing date and time in a custom format](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2560540/parse-a-string-containing-date-and-time-in-a-custom-format) — Diado, Aug 28 '20 at 06:39
note that `mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss` is not "C# DateTime", that would be a _string representation_ of an existing DateTime, in en-US locale. `DateTime`is an abstraction, that has no intrinsic string format, until you call `ToString` or similar on it. — Pac0, Aug 28 '20 at 06:46

Use DateTime.ParseExact() with "MMM dd yyyy h:mm:ss:ffftt" format,

using System;
using System.Globalization; 
...   

var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US", true);
DateTime LastUpdateDate = DateTime.ParseExact("Oct 27 2022  9:09:50:693PM", "MMM dd yyyy  h:mm:ss:ffftt", cultureInfo);
Console.WriteLine(LastUpdateDate.ToString());

.Net Fiddle

Note: You have two spaces between year and time. No space between milliseconds and AM/PM designator. Please check your string date and time and update format(Spaces in DateTime format) accordingly
