c# 4.0 - String Conversation to DateTime -

i facing problem while converting string datetime.it gives me "string not recognized valid datetime" exception.

here input string

10/28/2014 3:13:12 am"

code snippet

datetime dt = datetime.parseexact("10/28/2014 3:13:12 am", "dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm", cultureinfo.invariantculture);

i have gone through couple of stack overflow posts still having same issue.

reference post string not recognized valid datetime in c# asp.net

use format string: "mm/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss tt":

datetime dt = datetime.parseexact("10/28/2014 3:13:12 am", "mm/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss tt", cultureinfo.invariantculture);

if want convert resulting datetime stering format: dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:

string result = dt.tostring("dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm", cultureinfo.invariantculture);

cultureinfo.invariantculture forces english language month names instead of localized name.
