your format string doesn't match input, , didn't specify output format.

var datestring = "6/29/2014"; var format = "m/dd/yyyy"; // adjusted format match input seek { var result = datetime.parseexact(datestring, format, provider); console.writeline("{0} converts {1}.", datestring, result.tostring("yyyy-mm-dd")); // specify output format } grab (formatexception) { console.writeline("{0} not in right format.", datestring); }

output:

6/29/2014 converts 2014-06-29.
