Convert string (long date and time in 12-hour format) to DateTime

Question

How can I convert a datetime string like December 13, 2015 09:55 PM to a DateTime?

Or `DateTime.ParseExact` with an appropriate format? There are *lots* of date/time conversion questions on Stack Overflow - please research them to give you a starting point, and if you can't make progress, show what you've tried. — Jon Skeet, Dec 13 '15 at 14:03

using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Globalization;


namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string strDate = "December 13, 2015 09:55 PM";
            DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact(strDate, "MMMM dd, yyyy hh:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

        }
    }
}
