String to datetime problem

[Sl1ver]

i've got a string like

"May 21 2011"

how do i get it in the yyyy/mm/dd format

i've tried

public DateTime dt;

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string date = Request.QueryString["date"];
        
        dt = new DateTime();
        dt = DateTime.ParseExact(date, "MM-dd-yyyy", null);

    }

And i looked on google for ages but I didn't find anything.

Please help

Have a look at this page: http://www.csharp-examples.net/string-format-datetime/

These are the C# date/time format codes and you can use these to parse your data. Here's a sample I made based on what you've said you're looking for...

string dateStr = "May 21 2011";
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(dateStr, "MMMM dd yyyy", null);
MessageBox.Show(dt.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd"));
