How to convert string date to following date format dd/MM/yyyy t:m:s in C#

Question

I need to convert date format from string to dd/MM/yyyy tt:mm:ss in C# for example convert

string = "2015-07-21T23:00:00.000Z"

to

{21/07/2015 00:00:00}

Your title says `t:m:s` and your question says `tt:mm:ss`? Are you _really_ sure you know what `tt` means exactly? You mean `HH:mm:ss` instead? And your string and DateTime value does not match. — Soner Gönül, Oct 21 '15 at 10:44

`DateTime myDate = DateTime.ParseExact("2009-05-08 14:40:52,531", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,fff", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)` — vinodh, Oct 21 '15 at 10:49

I would parse it to DateTime with DateTimeStyles.RoundtripKind enumeration since it is ISO 8601 format then use it's Date property to set it's time part to midnight.

var dt = DateTime.Parse("2015-07-21T23:00:00.000Z", null, DateTimeStyles.RoundtripKind);
Console.WriteLine(dt.Date.ToString("dd'/'MM'/'yyyy HH:mm:ss")); // 21/07/2015 00:00:00

Here a demonstration.
