Error DateTime.ParseExact

Question

The following lines throw a FormatException.

DateTime dateResult;
System.Globalization.CultureInfo provider = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
string dateFormat =  "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm";
string dateToCheck = "2013-20-10 00:00";

dateResult = DateTime.ParseExact(dateToCheck, dateFormat, provider); // fails

It says

The DateTime represented by the string is not supported on the System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar.

I do not see what happened.

Answer 1

The month seems to be 20. 20. The 20th month does not exist. As the comments say, you could mix up the day and the month.

The line should be:

string dateToCheck = "2013-10-20 00:00";

Answer 2

, , M d , , /. ( ( H)) :

string dateFormat =  "yyyy-d-M HH:mm";

, : 02,2,20

Answer 3

Change your format with

"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"

to

"yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm"

because there is no month 20.ht.

string dateFormat = "yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm";
string dateToCheck = "2013-20-10 00:00";
DateTime dateResult = DateTime.ParseExact(dateToCheck, dateFormat, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.WriteLine(dateResult);

Here . DEMO

Answer 4

There is no 20th month on the calendar. Change your code as:

...
string dateToCheck = "2013-10-20 00:00";
...

Or that:

...
string dateFormat =  "yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm";
...

Answer 5

do it like this, note that I changed dd and MM

DateTime dateResult;
System.Globalization.CultureInfo provider = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
string dateFormat = "yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm";
string dateToCheck = "2013-20-10 00:00";
dateResult = DateTime.ParseExact(dateToCheck, dateFormat, provider);
