[=?Utf-8?B?QVZM?=]

Hi,
I've need some info regarding datetime conversions..
I've a string in the below format'"dd/mm/yyyy"..I want it to be converted to
Datetime object with the date format as "mm/dd/yyyy"
I've used the below code..

Dim provider As IFormatProvider
provider = New System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo("en-US", True)
drnewRow("Inv_D ate_Detail") = DateTime.ParseE xact("21/11/2007",
"dd/MM/yyyy", provider).ToSho rtDateString()

This workds fine if my current culture in regional settings is "en-US"..
but fails when I move my current culture to 'en-GB"..

I want a generic solution to this..
how shud i convert a "dd/mm/yyyy" to "mm/dd/yyyy" in vb/net?
