HI @saritha

Try like this
Datetime.ParseExact(“23/02/2022”,“dd/MM/yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)

Hi @saritha,

You can try with the following format -

Datetime.ParseExact(YourDateToBeParsed,YourDateFormat,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(TheFormatInWhichYouWantTheDate)

Thanks

Hi @saritha ,

You have missed to convert the values to String.

Check the below Expression :

DateTime.Parse(dateCurrentPerson.month.ToString+"/"+dateCurrentPerson.Day.ToString+"/"+DateTime.Today.Year.ToString)

we do understand that you want create a new datetime form persons’ day, month and current year
it looks also that dateCurrentPerson is already a datetime variable

so we can create the datetime directly by

new DateTime(now.Year, dateCurrentPerson.Month, dateCurrentPerson.Day)

we can avoid x to y and y to x conversions when we do create directly the Datetime by using present informations. So we do not produces strings, which we are parsing again in a datetime as
new DateTime(now.Year, dateCurrentPerson.Month, dateCurrentPerson.Day) is doing this more compact and directly.
