I have code like belowe :

set
        {
            iDate = (DateTime.Parse(value).ToPersianDateString());
        }

ToPersianDateString is a Extension method to convert 2016 to 1395 e.x.

this code work very well but in windows 10, below code , retrun an exception

DateTime.Parse(value)

my value is : Aug 31 2016 12:00AM

Exception message is : String was not recognized as a valid DateTime. why it return error ?

I think problem is Aug .

Check if it accepts `.` instead of `:`. – Lasse V. Karlsen Aug 31 '16 at 06:03
You need to use `ParseExact` and pass the format as `"MMM dd yyyy hh:mmtt"` – Zein Makki Aug 31 '16 at 06:04
I think my question is not duplicate because my code doesnt work just in windows 10 , that question was asked 7 years ago – osman Rahimi Aug 31 '16 at 06:05

@osmanRahimi It has nothing to do with windows 10. It has to do with explicitly specifying the format and the culture. – Zein Makki Aug 31 '16 at 06:06

@osmanRahimi `var date = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, "MMM dd yyyy hh:mmtt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);` works perfectly on windows 10 ! I have just tried it. – Zein Makki Aug 31 '16 at 06:07
