DateTime and CultureInfo

c#, cultureinfo, datetime

Solution

You may try the following:

System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureinfo =
        new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("nl-NL");
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(date, cultureinfo);

Problem

I have this in my code: ``` var date1 = DateTime.ParseExact(date, "dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); ``` And when my current cultur is dutch (`nl-NL`) instead of May 1st I get January 5th. I think the error is in the second parameter `dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss`. Is there a way to fix this using the `CultureInfo` class?
